Yes the battle of the somme was where tanks 1st took the stage in a offcial combat role. The british had two types of tank that day, the mk2(female) And the mk4(male) The female had no guns and had the aim of getting troops across no mans land and over the ruff terrain to the german frontlines. The male mk4 had 2 mounted vickers and one small 65mm cannon, similar role but also took a few people with them if you get my drift lol. There were iin tootal 7 tanks that day as it was only a combat test the 1st day of the somme. Throughout the war, we produced more mk4's as they faird pretty well. Not long after the somme the germans started experimenting with tanks also.....thus the battle tank was born.
