1918 saw great changes in the warfare of the Western Front. Russia pulled out of the war, freeing thousands more German troops to push the Allies back huge distances. The Allied counteroffensives, with the new tanks, evolving tactics, and the arrival of the Americans, forced the Germans back towards their own borders and defeat. Learn more about Great War here...

Weighing in at 23 tonnes, the Char Saint Chamond was armed with a full-size 75mm gun located in the front of the vehicle, with 4 Hotchkiss machine-guns located on the sides. France produced about 400 of the Saint Chamond tanks during the war and used them alongside their other designs until the armistice in 1918.
