Bryn Hammond - Cambrai


Bryn Hammond is the foremost authority on tank warfare, as long-serving members witnessed on Bryn’s first visit to Northamptonshire WFA in 2004. This Remembrance-tide, he uncovers the myth of the first tank versus tank battle in history. In reviewing Bryn’s book Cambrai, Michael Orr commented “Hammond has not written a dry account of technology and doctrine. The stories of the men who fought at Cambrai emerge throughout and the human dimension is never forgotten. Personal accounts are deployed to base the narrative and analysis firmly in reality. The result is a book which will grip the general reader’s attention and be a constant reference for the professional historian. It is a model of how to write a battle study.”
