Battle of Cambrai (1917)
The Battle of Cambrai (called the Battle of Cambrai, 1917 by the Battlefield Nomenclature Committee; also sometimes referred to as the First Battle of Cambrai) was a British attack followed by the biggest German counter-stroke against the BEF since 1914, in the First World War.
 Cambrai, in the département of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, was an important supply point for the German "Siegfriedstellung" (known to the British as the Hindenburg Line) and capture of the town and the nearby Bourlon Ridge would threaten the rear of the German line to the north.

 During preparations, J. F. C. Fuller, a staff officer with the Tank Corps, looked for places to use tanks for raids.
 General Julian Byng, commander of the British Third Army, decided to combine both plans.
