520 _a"Life in a Tank" by Richard Haigh is a military memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of soldiers in the Tank Corps during World War I, detailing their training, battles, and personal challenges. The primary focus is on the psychological and physical realities of fighting from within a tank, offering insights into the lives of those serving in this relatively new branch of the military. The opening of the book establishes the allure and complexity of tank warfare as perceived by the soldiers. It begins with vivid descriptions of the tanks as iron beasts, accompanied by the protagonist Talbot's reflections on leaving his infantry unit for the Tank Corps. Readers meet Talbot and his fellow soldiers as they undergo rigorous training, confront their fears, and begin to form camaraderie in a setting devoid of traditional military history. The narrative paints a picture of their initial excitement about this novel form of warfare, interspersed with humor and the somber realities of military life while hinting at the chaos and uncertainty that await them on the battlefront.
