By the end of World War I tank technology had developed, particularly in British tanks, to a point where it was decided that tanks should be both male and female (i.e. with both heavy armament and lighter machine guns). This has become the standard model for tank designs since World War I and since then the terms "male" and "female" have been disused. The basic idea underlying the concept of female tanks was later used in design of British infantry tanks in the years leading to World War II. Female tanks were first used in the Somme Offensive on September 15, 1916.
