A monument to the tank crew who were lost in the area. Pioneers in their own right this site features a memorial with inscribed names as well as a replica great war tank and a more modern tank for some reason? A good stop off point on the road into Reims from the North.

A peaceful quiet location hosting an important war memorial marking probably the first major use of tank warfare. A sombre place, well looked after with some hefty hardware on public show. Made a thought provoking interesting rest stop.

Remembering the first French tank assault of WW1 using the Char CA-1 which is on display. A more modern AMX-30 is also on display and a memorial to those that died in the battle

Le monument des chars d'assaut est situé au point de départ de la première attaque de 132 chars français engagés en masse, le 16 avril 1917, en direction de Juvincourt[2]. Des chars des années 1950 sont exposés à côté du monument. Le monument a la forme d'un mur sur lequel sont inscrits le nom des soldats morts au combat. À l'arrière, une plaque, rappelle le fait d'armes du 16 avril 1917 : ce jour-là, le 151e R.I. du colonel Moisson, après s'être emparé de la position du Choléra, poursuivit son avancée jusqu'au bois des Béliers, avec l'appui des chars du commandant Bossut.

Le monument est la propriété de la commune de Berry-au-Bac.

Quelques mètres avant la monument des chars d'assaut, une stèle horizontale a été érigée à la mémoire du général Estienne. Au centre, figure un médaillon du général, de part et d'autre sont inscrites sur deux plaques de bronze :

à gauche, une déclaration du genéral Estienne, du 22 août 1914 :

« La victoire appartiendra à celui qui le premier aura réalisé un engin cuirassé capable de progresser en tout terrain et armé d’un canon. »

à droite, la déclaration du représentant du commandement militaire allemand au Reichtag, le 8 octobre 1918 :

« Il n’y a plus aucune possibilité de vaincre et le premier facteur ayant déterminé ce résultat d’une façon décisive c’est le char d’assaut[3]. »

Le calvaire de la ferme du Choléra, situé en face du mémorial des chars d'assaut, est implanté à l'endroit où se situait la ferme du Choléra d'où partit la première bataille de chars...

Stop along the way to learn of the first use of tanks by France in September 1917.

See a Mk1 Char there before you and read the information boards.

A memorial to the men involved and those who died trying.

Plenty of parking and a small rest area.

Surrounded by open countryside it really is worth a...

Good as regards objects on display and the visual aids. Bad as regards being historically 'selective' in their emotional version of WW1 tank developments/offensive capabilities. Very good as regards giving a sense of the bravery, suffering and sacrifice of the...
