Date: 2017-11-22

Australian Army soldiers from 1st Armoured Regiment held a paraded at RAAF Base Edinburgh, South Australia, on Monday to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Cambrai.
The parade also provided an opportunity to celebrate the regiment’s arrival to South Australia, having recently relocated from their 22-year home at Robertson Barracks in Darwin.
It featured 1st Armoured Regiment soldiers and armoured vehicles, including tanks, light armoured vehicles and armoured personnel carriers.
The Battle of Cambrai, fought between 20 November and 7 December 1917, was the first battle in history involving the use of tanks en masse.
Each year Commonwealth and allied armoured regiments around the world commemorate this momentous battle, on a day now known as Cambrai Day.
