Cavalry advancing briskly over very flat countryside. Each man holds the reins in his left hand keeping his right hand free for his lance. Cavalry patrols could cover the ground quickly, but each horse presented a large target so they were very vulnerable. Sir Douglas Haig, however, remained convinced that cavalry had a place in modern warfare. As late as 1926, in a discussion of military tactics, Haig, who had himself been a cavalry officer, wrote, 'I believe that the value of the horse and the opportunity for the horse in the future are likely to be as great as ever. Aeroplanes and tanks are only accessories to the men and the horse.' [Original reads: 'Cavalry patrols advancing over open country near Mory.'] http://digital.nls.uk/74549514

British officers with a captured German anti-tank gun in Bapaume, France, during World War I. This photograph of British officers with a German anti-tank gun is evidence of how quickly military technology had to evolve during World War I. The first tanks were introduced by Britain at the Somme in September 1916 and shortly thereafter Germany began developing anti-tank weaponry. One of the most celebrated examples was the 13mm Mauser Tank-Gewehr M1918 anti-tank rifle. The British advance on Bapaume, a highly successful offensive, provided official war photographers like Tom Aitken with opportunities to take photographs that would raise morale amongst the British public. This is one such opportunity. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. Our advance on BAPAUME. In a German trench.

Abandoned German positions near Bapaume, France, during World War I. A British soldier walks among the ruins of former German positions and the upturned remains of German gun carriages. The guns once held by the carriages are not visible: where possible they would have been salvaged along with their ammunition by the retreating army, or else captured by the Allies. The Battle of Bapaume was a key phase in the British offensive of 1918, beginning on 21 August and resulting in the capture of a great many German prisoners and weapons.

British soldiers firing captured German guns, near Bapaume, France, during World War I. This picture of a British officer firing a captured heavy gun was almost certainly posed for propaganda purposes, rather than being taken during any real fighting. The soldiers looking on appear relaxed and cheerful, and stand out in the open. They do not seem concerned about the possibility of returned fire. Many German weapons and men were captured in the successful British advance on Bapaume in August 1918. By this stage the opposing German forces were in full retreat.
