English men stepped ashore along the banks of the Chesapeake for the first time in May 1607.

It was excellent to be asked by Osprey to write this title for their Elite series. Not only is the subject a logical follow-up to my World War I Gas Warfare Tactics and Equipment title, it is also one with which I have been fascinated for upwards of 35 years. My interest dates from my early twenties when I was Assistant Curator at the Royal Engineers Museum and took part in the exploration of a World War I tunnel system deep beneath Vimy Ridge in France.

Osprey’s New Vanguard series editor, Tom Milner, has been encouraging me to write these “Tanks of…” titles so the Battle of France was a natural theme for me.
