The Battle of Cambrai, launched in November 1917, heralded the first time tanks were used in significant force, a little over a year after they had made their tentative debut at Flers on the Somme in September 1916. By the autumn of 1917 the popular reputation of tank effectiveness had suffered. Aside from their undoubted initial value as a suprise tactic they were deemed to be of limited use in offensive operations, unwieldy and prone to malfunction.
