Did you know the reason we call tanks tanks is because when they were first used in the Battle of the Somme in the Great War Britain did not want the Germans to know what they were shipping to the front. So they put them in huge crates and labelled them 'water tanks' so the Germans if the ship was captured or sinking would think it was just water supplies. The soldiers starting calling the machines tanks then.
