EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative illustration by G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News in 1930, we witness a vision of the future of warfare as it was then imagined. The scene depicts tracked machine guns and their crews, with tankettes and trailer wagons in the background. These mechanical supports for the infantry of the British Army were designed to be agile and the shock troops of tomorrow. The platoons of in-fighters, as they were officially known, were attached to battalions of the 6th and 7th Brigades. The soldiers are shown both on foot and in two-man tanks, ready for in-fighting. The tankettes, with their trailer wagons for transporting machine guns, were a crucial part of this new mechanised warfare. The illustration captures the essence of the era's military innovation and the excitement surrounding the potential of mechanised manoeuvres in warfare. The soldiers, armed with their weapons, are focused and determined, ready to engage in battle. The tanks, with their tracks instead of wheels, are a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The illustration also highlights the importance of mobility and adaptability in warfare. The tankettes were designed to be light and agile, able to navigate rough terrain and provide fire support to the infantry. The trailer wagons allowed for the quick transport of machine guns, enabling the infantry to be more effective in combat. Overall, this illustration by G.H. Davis is a fascinating glimpse into the military thinking of the 1930s and the beginning of the era of mechanised warfare. It showcases the innovation and ingenuity of the time, as well as the determination of the soldiers and the importance of mobility and adaptability in battle.
