Join Lieutenant Richard Haigh as he recounts his extraordinary journey from serving with the 2nd Royal Berkshire Infantry Regiment in the battle-scarred Somme region of 1916 to becoming a pioneer in tank warfare. When the British Army sought volunteers for the newly introduced tanks, Haigh eagerly stepped forward in December 1916. In this captivating narrative, he shares the rigorous training and pivotal battles he experienced until the wars conclusion in 1918. Recognized for his bravery with the Military Cross in 1916, Haighs story is one of courage and resilience, culminating in his resignation from service in 1919 to join the General Reserve of Officers. (Summary by William A. Crenshaw)
