Film of MkI tanks

Just noticed, in the 2010 video compilation about Albert Jacka VC, MC (14th Bn, 4th Div AIF):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aXD7eqPjWA Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmYnLXDQaZA Part 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntWJIgO555M Part 4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgCEbD8NO1Y Part 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVb9waYGDRc Part 6
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhtIDFMq56o Part 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaS3hu60ghQ Part 8

... towards the end of Part 6 and in the first bit of Part 7 (Bullecourt) there is quite a bit of footage showing Mk I tanks trundling about.  Can't imagine this material would be new to anyone, indeed much or maybe all of it looks familiar from philthydirtyanimal's youtube uploads, but anyway another source and offered within the context of 4 Division's tank-lead assault on the Hindenburg Line, April 1917 which pretty much soured Australian perception of the infernal contraptions for about a year afterwards.

The pictures are taken from Malins film "The battle of the Ancre", taken in September 1916
