There is a problem with this video. Whilst it undeniably shows WWI tanks (French Renault FT and British Mk IV & V), it is a compilation of contemporary and post-War footage. The shots of the Renault are probably wartime, but most, if not all, of the footage of British tanks is taken from a cinema film called The Somme, made in England in 1927. http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/352395?view=synopsis Hengistmate (talk) 23:02, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Summary

Compilation of footage of World War I era tanks. Opening title and footage of British rhomboid tanks taken from 1927 feature film The Somme. Brief footage of French Renault FT tank cut in after opening title. Possible that Renault tank is at Langres, but no conclusive evidence.
