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.
@@santtilagmailcom That seems hilariously accurate
The cavalry have been waiting for years! They should have gone forward !
Wow, David is a phenomenal communicator and educator. And the video was extremely well-produced as well -- one of the best external collaborations you guys have done so far. Please thank him on behalf of us viewers!
Agreed! More David, lads!
Tank you David!
He didn't involve Indy in his own Show. He kept cutting him off.
Thanks Indy and David. Top class!
See the Tank Museum's documentary on the Cambrai battle. An amazing piece, TV-level production value while retaining the information value.
-Goes to the guy's museum
-"It's nice to have you here"
"here giving us your time"
lol yea
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.
Inexperience does that. No one had experienced war on this scale.
Scott Weber faster, maneuverable tanks made THEM the cavalry.
Randy Magnum thats why the household cav uses scimtars and scorpians etc
Kinda reminds you of the Crimean War and the charge of the light brigade ... cavalry and "misunderstanding orders" and such ...
The Tank Museum and The Great War, one of the best combinations of UA-cam channels
+Indiana Jones
Add Lindybeige and you are Golden (and it will result in at least 1hr of footage, with maybe 5 min. related to tanks.)
At 1:51 "They´re done in penny packets" said the man:
penny packet (plural penny packets) = A small number of things or people; a small group.
Thanks, never heard that in American English before hahaha
I think for American English, the word pockets is used(e.g. Pockets of air bubbles in water.).
That bloke´s no yank, though...
Its like you guys never watched nor quoted the "World at War", the "Fall of France" episode, "... but the French armour was waisted in penny packets".
Indy looks so confused in the thumbnail lol
More from this guy please! love his enthusiasm and knowledge
Indy Picard he is on the tank museum videos
Also you get the charming David Fletcher's moustache, David Fletcher's subtle humour, David Fletcher's extensive knowledge and last but not least, David Fletcher himself.
Nice, but isn't this the third visit to this museum? I wonder why Indy keeps coming back?
Radiyas 13 it was all done at once
David is an amazing educator. To me, he seems like one of those university teachers with great knowledge and passion to whom you look upon.
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
I found it amusing that David Willey spoke of the Battle of Cambrai in the present tense. To him, these are current events.
The man who survived both mustard gas and pepper spray:
Is now a seasoned veteran!
... [gets the joke] LOL!
Ha hah!
I relish this type of humor but coming in late to the topic I will have to catchup.
Awful...but funny!
If he was in the Navy, he would be "seasoned salt"?
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.
Tank you for this vid, Indie!!
Hehe, "tank' you.
I'll go now...
I've been waiting for more videos with David! This video does not disappoint
Great work team, excellent presentation by David. Thanks, liked.
That was so great. Wow Thanks for that. Your best video yet.
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...
+oOkenzoOo

Oh boy 2 WW1 greats sharing a video
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.
GREAT VIDEO! as usual, would like to see more of David on the channel in the future if possible.
+THEGREATJONCOMETH - I think there are a few more episodes with him
Wow... This was soo insightful! I could almost visualize it. This has to be my favorite UA-cam channel ever! Fantastic job to everyone involved. And David was a joy to listen to!
More educational than what you get from school
and much more fun :)
Ronald Garner You might be able to process it better because you’re a visual learner, but saying it’s more educational doesn’t really make any sense. Just saying. You’re getting the same information, you just like the way it’s presented.
0:34 "... David Willey, it's great to have you here!"
Yeah
It's great to have you here
At your museum
...
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
dumbass its great to have you here at The Great War UA-cam Channel
Another great video about The Great War!!!
Another great episode guys :) Love these episode with David Willey. I watched this after the main episode describing the attack at Cambrai and found it to be an excellent follow-up
Very well made video, thank you!
Tanks for this special episode, intresting!!
Very fascinating.
David speaks so well, you can tell he loves his work. Would like too hear more from him in 2018
Very informative, thank you so much.
great video, tactics of tanks have indeed changed the field of warfare forever
technoRockstep it's only been 9 mins since release
David Stachura the 3:00 mark caught my attention greatly
edit, it is 18 minutes
David Stachura no my dear, it was 18 minutes after release when my comment went up
Tanks for the special guys 😉😎
Absolutely marvelous. Thank you.
Do a specialist about submachine guns
I love the Tank Museum guys
This guy knows his stuff
Could listen to this man all day 🇬🇧👍
Loving the inspiration this is giving me for another piece of art for my show in November 2018
I caught your show late in the game, sadly! But I love your channel! Thank you!
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.
Adam. I've been running around clutching my tinkle in excitement all week over it 😉
Christopher Smith Hahaha I may have been doing the same!
Adam. Hey thanks for this
love that guy . mr guy martin
Thanks
You are the go to guy on the Great War. You are doing an amazing job.
Excellent episode.
Great video guys
How fascinating. Great job.
Nice use of tanks to take out the barbed wire fences
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?
Love the Tank Museum specials
Great show, full of info. You have to hand it to the Brits for developing the tank and tank tactics.
Amazing content, keep it up!
Great video again Great War team can't believe you had thumbs down on this no other channel goes to great detail you guys do
Great episode
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.
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
Great video
This British guy has a large personal bubble and the American smaller. Thus we keep seeing Indy moving forward and David backing off. When he can't get back, he resorts to leaning in an impressive pose :)
Hi Indie, great episode.
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.
Yesss finally new EPISODE
Great work on this video. I really like the visuals of the museum combined with all the detailed information the curator provides.
Thank you .
I could watch Indy and David all day!
Glad I just watched this, flicked over to C4 and Guy Martin is now rebuilding one. Nice timing!
I can listen to David forever.
Having visited Bovington six years ago it's still the very best military museum in the world.
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!
Great Discussion .
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
Amazing !
Love you indie !!
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!
tanks a lot!
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.

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. The curator is so well to understand for a non-native English speaker. This was such an interesting video to me - accompanied by really fitting archival footage, sooo well done! Wow, this channel has come far!
WW1 tanks have always looked so cool
That was a great video.
Don't think I've ever seen a flat bottomed tie before
Very 1960´s!
Very 1980's
Yes, we used our dad´s old knitted 60´s ties!
liedream casinosoul I still wear mine from time to time just because I revel in being a artifact of a bygone time . 8-)
With knitted woollen ties, it's common, almost standard.
he's the best guy that I have ever heard
This guy is awesome
Reading Achtung Panzer is really paying off.
Do a special about the char2c a heavy tank used by the French army
Did it even go into service?
I'm not sure
It didn't go into service in the first world war because It wasn't developed in time, but it was used by the French in the second world war.
Otto Von Bismarck I know in the Second World War the French tried to evacuate them but most had to be destroyed by the French one was captured by the Germans and brought back to Berlin as a trophy but it is uncertain what happened to it after
Hey Indy!
When the time comes, can you do a special on the US 332nd Infantry Regiment? They served in Italy, from July to November 1918!
Thanks!
Thank you. Very, very interesting.
Loved it.
Two (funny) observations:
1.) For me it was almost painful to watch (and maybe I read too much into it): Indy closing up all the time, while David is constantly backing up ... even got cornered into the tank at one point, for the second half of the video just bending backwards while talking (and micro-steps backwards)... all to re-establish "his" personal space... I felt that.
2.) Watching this from 2020 the opening alone was too much. No distancing, no masks, even touching (by hands that is). Nuts! How things and perception have changed.
Drinking game:take a shot every time Indy says "Yeah"
Lillie , caught Willie , bowled Dillie .
Guys, love these vids, but seriously, forget the camera is there. Especially you Indy.
+Phillip Cowell we had a meeting that was entitled "how to drive Phillip crazy" and this is what we came up with.
+The Great War Flo you managed that not only with Phillip.
+betaich nice side effect
The Great War alright flo keep your sass in.
Getchu someone who looks at you the way David looks at indie!
You should do, The War of The League of Cambrai.
C named and C plus a number belong to C tank battalion which as C company was one of the first two tank units to go into combat in September 1916 at Flers.
We're headed to Cambrai lads, where I've been told there's wine women and song!
*8:14** wow i Got scared by That manequinn*
AleksTheLion 😂😂😂
This is the dawn of combine arms tactical warfare
i like this guy
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.
Flying planes over to hide the sound of the tanks...wow, now that's clever work.
Dec 6th is the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion that in some ways is related to the great war - it would interesting to show people why it was because of WW1
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
