I will try to find a map of this battle, I know I have seen one somewheres...
Now this was the first Tank vs Tank battle but not the first Armor vs Armor battle...that took place in late August or Early Sept ember of 1914 between the 1st RNAS Armored Car Squadron and a German Armored Car squadron.
The Russians, the Germans, and the Austro Hungarians fought many battles in Armored car vs Armoured Car situations...the Austin-Putilov was quite the attack vehicle even more so than the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost or the Renault was on the Western Front.
here is a where you can see both Brit, Russian, Italian, and German Armoured Cars.
