I have a quibble in reference to the geek trivia that dealt with the naming of tanks in World War One.
In your article you referred to WW1 as “the first Great War”. I must take exception to your phrasing. World War One was THE Great War (the war to end all wars etc.), not the ‘first’ Great War. World War Two is referred to as World War Two, not ‘the second Great War’.
Mis-phrasing or not, it was a very interesting article, keep up the good work.
Thanks for your attention in this matter.
Travis
