Loved your documentary, it was brilliant & I saw "Deborah" when she was in the barn, after recovery. However, what's NOT so good, is once you arrive at the link you kindly provided... This happens... "Find Someone" leads to "We’re down for maintenance" ( so of course, on FREE weekend, not accessible ) "Please accept our apologies. We’re undertaking some essential maintenance" (Until AFTER FREE weekend) "Sorry if this causes you any inconvenience" - Well, Erm' YEAH = it defeats the entire object of arrival As Clarkson would say.... "Meanwhile , Back To The Studio" - in other words, -"Don't Find My Past"
An amazing story, as a former member of the tank regiment, this has done justice. Could you perhaps cover the story of Fray Bentos. The inspiration for the film Fury.
What a great story, although tragic! The fact the tank remains and is on display is a great honor to those men, whose story will never be forgot! I appreciate you telling it!!
My wife, Jennifer, was the granddaughter of Frederick William Tipping. We knew from commonwealth war graves that he was buried in Flesquieres. Thanks to a SKY reporter, Rob Kirk, and many enthusiastic researchers of Deborah, we were informed of the detail of Frederick’s death. At this time of remembrance this video is a very worthy tribute to Deborah D51 and her crew. Sadly this year we won’t be able to join Philippe for the annual commemoration in Flesquieres but our heats and minds will be with them on the 20th November.
No head stone for my great uncle born in Eastwood Nottingham and migrated to Australia in 1912. Served in Gallipoli, landed in the second wave at ANZAC cove. Wounded in action and the only survivor of his section, lay in no man’s land for twelve hours. 1916 serving inn France. He was a sergeant in the 16 Battalion of the Australian Army and died aged 22 years at Mouquet farm on the night of 29/30th August 1916 and was buried in a trench were he fell. the trench was destroyed by an Artillery barrage and he is lost. Lest we forget 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Awesome. A very moving story. Maybe one day I'll have the honour of visiting Deborah in person, and remember her crew. It's the stories of the individuals, that make your videos so worthwhile. This one was a perfect lead-up to Remembrance Day. Thanks.
Dude this one is super well done. Kudos for the depth. as someone who’s seen a lot of World War I and World War II documentaries and UA-cam videos. I find years to stand out these days. So great work, sir.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you found the depth of the content engaging, especially as someone who's seen so many documentaries on the subject.
Excellent video. My grandfather was wounded twice, once a bullet and then gas. He died in the 1930s coughing in the main street of Oxford. My dads mother had died during the flu epidemic, and he then married the nurse who had looked after him. I worked for the British MOD as an engineer where the Challenger 1 was designed and the prototype built. Grass grows in the car park now. As you can well imagine this video means a lot to me on many fronts - well done that man, well done and thank you.
Thank you for this, I had the privilege of researching, for his family, the story of another man killed at Cambrai, John Rimmer, who fought in tank C.47.
Such a concise and informative telling of what is a tragically moving story, not just of "Deborah" and the men within, but the shocking sacrafices made by so many on both sides
thank you so much for bringing this story to us, will visit this next time i am near. More importantly thank you for keeping these Mens Story in view for all to see hopefully for a longtime to come.
What horrified German soldiers the most when they first encountered tanks was the steady, implacable advance of the metal monsters as they apparently shrugged off all the machine gun fire the Germans could lay upon them. Their horror only grew when they saw the iron beasts trampling, and in many cases uprooting wholesale, the barbed wire they'd so carefully emplaced as if it were just so many weeds.
Great documentary. I enjoyed it very much on this Armistice Day. I, too, was a tanker (in the US Army), albeit, in a much later time period. My wife and I visited Cambrai and other WWI battlefields in the mid-1970s while stationed in Germany. God bless the bravery of all who participated in the Great War. May they rest in peace.
That, like many others during the war,is such a sad story, to see Deborah gain so much ground on her own with no support and then meet her tragic end! 😢
Phillipe and the members of the association are incredible at keeping the memory of Deborah and her crew alive. As the Great Grandson of Fred Tipping, I have been lucky enough to have visited the site during the commemoration weekend and spoken with many involved in Deborah's finding, preservation and story. The video gives a great overview of the battle and has helped me understand more about what my Great Grandfather would have gone through. Thank you
Private Gallway was a Belfast / Hollywood man and a Irish Rifleman, and good son of Ulster. Lt Heap thought very highly of him , letters still exist that heap wrote to his family.
There is a full size, working recreation of "Deborah" at the amazing and interesting NORFOLK TANK MUSEUM. The documentaries don't give a true idea of how cramped Deborah and others really were. Until you get face to face with Deborah you don't get and idea, once you get to see her in reality it really brings it home at how brave theses boys and men really were (and of course all other tank crews throughout the wars on all sides)
Very true, when I looked round the WW1 tank (can't remember which mark it was) with that big Daimler engine in the middle at Bovington tank museum and you realise 8 men had to operate and fight in that noise, heat and fumes you appreciate how brave they were.
Thanks for this video, you really did it well. The museum is quite a beautiful one, may be small but Deborah being the major piece and being well enlightened by the display this sure worth the visit. For the anecdote in the beginning of October 1918 the tanks will one again rolls in the Cambrai fields. This time in the town of Niergnies where British tanks would face German A7Vs and even BeutePanzer (Captured British MkIV). The story is quite know among specialists you can easily find informations on it ! Concerning Flesquières the village will sadly see fights in 1940 and 1944… Almost 20 French soldiers coming from the East of Cambrai after facing the spearhead of the 7 PzDiv would to try to reach friendly lines before facing other German in Flesquières. After shooting 2 german motorcyclists, a tank would shoot the majority of the French soldiers… The 2nd of September 1944 the US soldier Johannas Bergman would die in an ambush after liberating the village. I am currently doing deep researches and writing a book about the 1940´s fight in the Cambrésis (from the Sambre to Canal du Nord). If you have any question about this area I would gladly help ! Cheers, Clem
Thank you for sharing such detailed insights! It's fascinating to hear about the history surrounding the museum and the significant events in the Cambrai area. Your research sounds incredibly important!
very good documentary about Deborah I myself am a volunteer at the Norfolk Tank Museum home of Deborah 2 the so called Guy Martin Tank and has helped to drive her on several occasions it gives you a little bit of an idea what it was like being shut inside while it was moving
The museum in Cambrai where Deborah is 😊is fantastic. Not.big at all but well worth a visit. We stopped off on our way back from a ski holiday. Well worth it
My great great grandfather was a surgeon with the BEF at Cambrai, he treated both axis and allied troops during his service in the battle but he remarked that the tankers suffered some of the worst wounds. Burns, loss of limbs, loss of hearing, and other horrors.
I'm watching this on 11/11/24, reminds me of the story i heard of my great grandfather, John William Mantle and his team, they were surrounded by Germans in every direction whilst him and his team manned and defended from all directions a British artillery battery, for hours they fought the Germans off, eventually sending them into retreat and he lived to tell the tail. May his soul and the soul of all those lost in these bitter wars over the years rest in peace.
This is the best WW1 video I've ever seen. The trench maps overlayed with the modern terrain are super interesting to look at and the accuracy at which you explain the troop movements is incredible!
I actually have a piece of armor plate and a bolt from a MK IV that was unearthed from the battle area of Pozières. I don’t recall the name of the tank, but somewhere I have a coa from the gentleman that helped excavate it that has the name. It doesn’t look like very protective plate.
The book is fascinating! This was such a pioneering event. You haven't mentioned that there were opportunities for the cavalry tom come through and exploit the gains but they were held son far back behind the front line - with no radio - that they could not be called forward when needed. That failure led to the development of the Whippet which was so successful at Amiens in 1918.
An absolutely brilliant story of Deborah, just a piece of machinery bought alive by those brave courageous men who manned her, and died in her. 'We Will Remember Them'
I'm glad i found this channel. I just subscribed. What caught my attention was the Deborah Tank. This video was very well done. All the way down to its crew and where they were from was amazing. The attention to detail on every level was superb! I enjoyed this video so much i may watch it twice, just to see if i missed anything. I forwarded it to some other friends of mine that are history geeks about ww1,ww1..ect. Thanks for making this video!
Great video, Battle Guide team! I hadn't learned much about the Battle of Cambrai. I also don't remember learning much about the Deborah. The video was concise but also quite informative. Not only were the maps helpful, but also so were the images and descriptions of the struggles that the crew of each tank faced and descriptions of the tactics used. Awesome job once again :) take care.
Thank you for posting this video. I have just finished reading Pierre Berton's Vimy, And R.H Thompson's By the Ghost Light. Watching this video puts into pictures what it was like on the battlefields of France
Fantastic work guys, both here and on the podcast. Always well narrated and well researched. Thank you for sharing your hard work, highly recommend your channel and the podcast (Not So Quiet On The Western Front)
J'ai visité le musée où est exposée Deborah, très émouvant. Déborah est l'un des rares MarkIV à avoir survécu à la Grande Guerre et échappé aux férailleurs
A must have Tank model for any serious collector! I have 2 versions with the different gun/ machine gun setups.👍🍻🇦🇺 Such a tragic end for Deborah and the other tanks.
A small mistake in describing the MkIV tank, I know nothing about tanks but having worked on marine engines it sounded impossible the exhaust has inside the compartment, I looked it up and it wasn't and couldn't be, unless exhaust fumes blew back into the tank because there's no reason any would leak from the exhaust pipework inside, the same as any boat engine or submarine.
While that may be true for more modern engines and exhaust systems, the technology 110 years ago was still relatively crude. It was not uncommon for exhaust gasses to leak past the piston rings during the combustion process and be pushed out of the crankcase, never even entering the exhaust system.
@straybullitt they were 6 cylinder Daimler Benz sleeve valve engines, not crude at all, there is only the crankcase breather on those engines that would emit exhaust fume , a tiny port that balances crankcase pressure.
The Royal Tank Regiment's motto is, "Through mud and blood, to the green fields beyond". Regimental belt linear stripe colours are brown, red and green.

War is so brutal , the dead in action are rarely remembered except for their headstones and the surviving wife and children or parents. War is brutal.
No head stone for my great uncle born in Eastwood Nottingham and migrated to Australia in 1912. Served in Gallipoli, landed in the second wave at ANZAC cove. Wounded in action and the only survivor of his section, lay in no man’s land for twelve hours. 1916 serving inn France.

definitely when they were using corpse arms to hang their canteens on. due to their being so many corpses imbedded in the trench walls.
I get a lump in my throat watching these videos. Because of channels like this one, we get to remember the forgotten.
Great story, as always great presentation- Thank you!
Our pleasure!

Beautifully done! Love the graphics and the telling of this heroic tale
Glad you liked it!
Well done man! You and Mark Felton would make a great team!
Best vid yet on WW1 tank battles by far.
Never thought about getting Felton involved, great idea!
Best battle breakdowns on UA-cam by far!! 👌🏻
Thanks a ton! Glad you think so! More epic battles coming your way!
@@BattleGuideVT looking forward to it!! Always a great day when y’all upload a vid!!
I agree totally. An amazingly detailed account. We owe everything to those brave men.👏🏻🇬🇧

One of the advantages of the tank.
Like big lumbering zombies
My favorite content on youtube by a country mile. Well done again
Thank you so much.
I visited that museum a few years ago. Very well presented whilst being basic and not overwhelming.
Always love the degree of detail you put into these videos. Thanks for sharing!

Private Gallway was a Belfast / Hollywood man and a Irish Rifleman, and good son of Ulster. Lt Heap thought very highly of him , letters still exist that heap wrote to his family.
Guy Martin, JCB and the team behind the tribute build was phenomenal

What a slick advertisement! It blended seamlessly into the video. Thank you for making that hassle more bearable.
It’s always this type of stuff that gets me teary eyed
Very surprised to learn that these tanks had a Daimler engine. This was an extremely interesting and well presented documentary, thankyou.
Visited the museum in June this year. Fascinating history. Lest we forget. Their name liveth for evermore.
Utterly refreshing to see & hear a video that isn't AI generated & robot voiced! 👍
"Sir, the Entente is breaking through our lines"
"How?! We are on the most fortified line of the western front!"
"They have mechas."
"Sheiße."
in this age of incompetant, lazy ai trash which is saturating everything it is refreshing to see this amazingly high standard of video!!!thank you!!
Thank you so much.
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻
Well done as usual..
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome video. Respect to the heroes of ww1
Thank you for the kind words!
What a great bit of luck. I was looking to check her out tomorrow, as I'm in the area. Cheers.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks you for this post, much apricated and very emotional.
My great great grandfather was a surgeon with the BEF at Cambrai, he treated both axis and allied troops during his service in the battle but he remarked that the tankers suffered some of the worst wounds. Burns, loss of limbs, loss of hearing, and other horrors.
Excellent story and fittingly sad but heroic in equal measure, on this remembrance Sunday.
Thank you.
They should make a film about Deborah
We have visited Deborah. And paid our respects in the graveyard. A very sombering day.
Incredible, I found myself at the edge of my seat listening to it. Really well made Ty.
touching story and first rate video. the great war is just unfathomable to comprehend in terms of suffering and loss.
Thank you.

Very well presented. Thank you.
Excellent narrative. The battle brought to life and understanding. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant. Well told and explained as always.
Thank you kindly!
I couldn’t take my eyes off this video. The content is so interesting and you present it so well!
i strongly recommend visiting the museum where Deborah rests. It is a fantastic insight into the battle and the crew.
So many horses were lost in the Big One. It was a real heartbreaking shame. Spielbergs movie War Horse did a fair job bringing it to the forefront.
*Imagine never seeing a car in your life and all of sudden you’re looking at 20 ton tank heading your way*
How terrifying!
I actually have a piece of armor plate and a bolt from a MK IV that was unearthed from the battle area of Pozières. I don’t recall the name of the tank, but somewhere I have a coa from the gentleman that helped excavate it that has the name. It doesn’t look like very protective plate.
Yeah the arnour certainly was not very thick in these first tanks. Can you imagine how slow they would be if their armour was even heavier?
It's crazy to think just small arms fire created metal fragments flying around the interior of a tank.
The book is fascinating! This was such a pioneering event. You haven't mentioned that there were opportunities for the cavalry tom come through and exploit the gains but they were held son far back behind the front line - with no radio - that they could not be called forward when needed.
