051423 - THE MOST SECRET PLACE ON EARTH: The Story of the East Anglian Village of Elveden and the birth of the world's first tanks

By Roger Pugh   Foreword by Lord Iveagh

The Story of the East Anglian Village of Elveden and the birth of the world’s first tanks

Roger Pugh has skilfully recreated the excitement and stress of the early days of the first tanks during WWI, and described their first use in France in 1916. The secret site on 25 square miles of Lord Iveagh’s estate at Elveden, transformed into an imitation ‘battlefield’ was at the heart of the whole enterprise.
