The role of tanks at the Battle of Bullecourt, 11 April 1917 | David Brown

Over the years, we have filmed quite a lot of speakers at the branch. These have been available to view on the WFA's YouTube channel, and can also be found as 'articles' on the WFA website. However these videos have not been separately grouped for those visiting the Yorkshire branch 'landing page' on the website.

By starting a process of loading these onto the branch page, this makes a number of talks that stretch back to about 2019 'visible'.

In this presentation, David Brown talks about 'The role of tanks at the Battle of Bullecourt' - which was given to the branch in October 2023.

The first Battle of Bullecourt was a failed attempt to penetrate the German defences of the Hindenburg Line by elements of the Fifth Army under General Gough. It was here that tanks were used in varying degrees of support for the Australian infantry.
