To commemorate the anniversary, soldiers from the Tidworth based Royal Tank Regiment have been to visit the battlefield. Before travelling to France they took the opportunity of seeing first-hand how their predecessors fought the battle at the Tank Museum in Bovington. BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley reports.
