INVENTOR OF THE TANK

Sir William Trttton, the Inventor of the British “Tank” which has been creating history on the western front and which has been a great factor in many British advances, is a man of studious inclinations. In a recent Interview, he stated, “The tank has not only come to stay, but, if I may venture to prophesy, it is destined to play a predominant part in modern warfare.” He is shown at work in his office.
