Haig: "This will be the cavalry's finest hour!" Cavalry: "Bout tea time, innit?"

If Haig had gotten a nuke, he’d probably used it to blow a hole for the cavalry to charge through.

I never tire of hearing David talk. It is amazing how informative and humorous he is. Perfect example was the bit about the Brits finishing the Germans breakfast...really puts you there

The generals on all sides have been waiting for this moment to send the cavalry in since 1914, but once the breakthrough finally comes it is revealed no one actually planned a method of effective communication with the cavalry commanders. The level of incompetence in the Great War never ceases to amaze me.

I found it amusing that David Willey spoke of the Battle of Cambrai in the present tense. To him, these are current events.

The tank gentleman is back! Love the tank episodes with him, and his voice is awesome

Five years later this is still one of the best videos, if not the best, on the battle of Cambrai, so glad that this channel is still going

Great to have Dave back on! Britain being obsessed with tanks was very interesting. Oh, and Indy, you _need to_ find a tank-shaped handbag. For science.

Great job, very informative. Could you do something kinda similar with the French Tanks ? The changes between the use of large heavy Schneider and Saint Chamond tanks and the massive production of light FT tanks. How they came to be, what decided their design. Their use in the counter-attack of the 2nd Battle of the Marne in 1918, etc...

If this uncle was a professor, I know he would be the most popular one in the history department. He’s just so enthusiastic about the topic and a clear communicator. If I ever go to England, this museum will be first on my checklist. And yes, that’s always the problem with Great War offensives, huh? Even if there was a breakthrough, it’s never taken advantage of.

Loving the inspiration this is giving me for another piece of art for my show in November 2018

Excellent episode.

Very fascinating.

These specials with David Willey have been simply fantastic. I thought they were finished, but then here's another one! Are there even more to come?

How fascinating. Great job.

Amazing content, keep it up!

You are the go to guy on the Great War. You are doing an amazing job.

Heads up for anyone in the UK. There is a program on channel 4 tomorrow (Sunday 19th Nov) at 8pm where Guy Martin is building a replica of a MK IV for anyone who may be interested.

Hi Indie, great episode.

Yesss finally new EPISODE

Great piece on the tank. In Australia we tend to celebrate John Monash’s efforts leading the way in combining tanks, artillery, aircraft and infantry. I’m wondering whether you will be doing a segment on him? Peter Young

Hey Indy, I wanted to ask you what you were considering of doing after the end of The Great War series. By that I mean if you are considering covering the events that happened after the war such as; German revolution, Weimar republic, Russian civil war etc. Thank you very much for creating this very in-depth series of the first World War!

Do a specialist about submachine guns

Love the Tank Museum specials

So is born modern combined arms tactics that are still the essence of land warfare today. I echo the comments of others, very well presented segment. Thank you for your efforts.

Could listen to this man all day 🇬🇧👍

Amazing !

The bovington man speaks incredibly fluent always has the info at the front of his brain. Really interesting chat. Learned of stuff I didn't know

Glad I just watched this, flicked over to C4 and Guy Martin is now rebuilding one. Nice timing!

I love how delightfully rewarding and awkwardly exquisite this interview was with seeing Indy caught in David's (tank-pulled) tractor beam and not being able to get a leading statement in edgewise for sometimes minutes at a time was unreal, which I know this because I have met some champion conversationalists in my time with the ability to so intensely tell a story and switch grammatical gears in unorthodox ways to add additional information with all the unnoticed grace of a magician's wrist to achieve a kind of hynoptic hypnotic spell hypnotic like this hypnoptic and someone will briefly magically misinterpret those configurations of shapes to make an imaginary sound in their mind, a sound which reminds them of their dear grandfather who had a similar spellcasting ability to cast a mighty line of words out into the Ocean of Castaway Conversation and spin such an abundant yarn of information, burying the listener in forgotten facts, that we don't mind that for a brief moment we had our minds hijacked by peculiar phrasings because even though we didn't get to drive we went on a ride.

15:10 I was visiting London almost 30 years ago ... and in the windows of the "Royal Jewlers" Garrods(? or something like that, not Harrods) they had a quite big "modern toy armored personnel carrier" made out of silver ... costing 5000 pounds.

Albert Baker is my brother-in-law's Great Grandad. I'd love to hear you tell more about Baker and the gun he captured. Having heard the tale from his family, I know it's one that you won't want to miss!

I could watch Indy and David all day!

Great show, full of info. You have to hand it to the Brits for developing the tank and tank tactics.

I don't know what it is, but the colors in this video are so awesome - i love how the light works here and how well the camera captures all of it. Makes listening even more enjoyable.

hey gang, just noticed there hasn't been an OOTT for a month or so, is the series over?! if not, i would like to ask if there is a sensible estimate for total shells fired in the war? i have found some rough estimates at 1bn, and this seems likely, esp. with ypres-3 using around 4.5 million alone in a 10 day barrage according to the BBC REPLY

15:10 I've never heard of those ways of raising money for tanks. This dance thing especially interested me. Does anyone know where can I find any articles covering that topic?

A lot of the biggest ones are still there to this day. The smaller ones would have been ploughed over, but ones such as the craters made during the launch of the Somme offensive are still visible. The destruction wrought in 4 years of fighting changed the landscape for ever, though softened by the passage of time and Mother Natures efforts.

I watched your video on the Mk4 tank and found it quite compelling, but I've got to say, you must try and make it look like you're not scared the cameraman is about to assault you.

he's the best guy that I have ever heard

What movie are those cut tank scenes from?
