The Burning Moment - 1916- The Somme by Chris Collingwood. The 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers going over the top on July 1st 1916, Battle of the Somme.

To the Green Fields Beyond, Cambrai, France, 20th November 1917 by David Pentland. At 0620 hours covered by a brief barrage from 1000 guns, Brigadier General Elles in a MkIV called Hilda led his 476 tanks against the impregnable German Hindenburg line at Cambrai. Supported by 6 infantry divisions and 4 Royal Flying Corps squadrons flying ground attack missions, the attack had broken through 3 trench lines and penetrated 5 miles on a 6 mile front by lunchtime. Although these gains were not exploited and later retaken by a German counter offensive, Cambrai showed the full potential of the tank on the battlefield.

Saving the Guns at Le Cateau by Terence Cuneo. Captain Reynold and drivers Luke and Drain saving the guns of 37th Battery from advancing German Infantry, all three were awarded the Victoria Cross.
