Yes Rick;

I'm working on a little essay to go with pictures (most come from a photo album that belonged to a Leutnant of the IR 170) of French tanks that were destroyed on April 16 1917 near Berry au Bac.

The French attacked the German lines using the new "Artillerie Speciale". It was the first French mass use of tanks in warfare.

I will post it all here when I have it ready.

Thanks again for your help
