... that contemporary British accounts of the 1917 Battle of Cambrai attributed the loss of up to 16 tanks (examples pictured) on the first day to a lone German artillery officer? Source: "the figure of sixteen tanks destroyed by the lone officer came from the pen of none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in his history of the battle published shortly after the war" from Taylor, John (11 November 2016). Deborah and the War of the Tanks. Pen and Sword. p. 226. ISBN978-1-4738-4834-4.
