H Battalion at Flesquieres

I was wondering if anyone has any information about H Battalion at Flesquieres? Maybe crew numbers, tank names and whether they were males or females?  

Thanks again!

Andrew

Suggest you try to borrow a copy of the "standard" work on the action, Following the Tanks

IMHO, though I'll probably be crucified for saying it, Following the Tanks is over-rated as a source of listings of tanks at Cambrai.

Instead, try this website, which I highly recommend (scroll down to find H Battalion under 2nd Brigade):

http://sites.google.com/site/landships/cambrainarratives/h-battalion-ob-november-20-1917

Note that the assumption that any Mark IV with numbers starting with 60 is a supply tank is not correct.

Good point Gwyn

And, of course, Dan Hickey's book, "Rolling into Action" provides a first hand account of H Bn on that day
