The advent of a new weapon: the tank. On 20 November 1917, the British Army launched a vast offensive in front of Cambrai, during which the infantry was supported, for the first time, by the combined advance of 476 Mark IV tanks. Although the Tommies managed to break through the Hindenburg Line in depth, they would not be able to resist the German counter-offensive, which would cause them to lose their hard-won ground. Next to the Louverval military cemetery, the Cambrai Memorial pays tribute to 7,000 Commonwealth men who died during the Battle of Cambrai.
