===World War One===
A Heavy RE tank was developed shortly after [[World War I]] by Major [[Giffard LeQuesne Martel]] RE.<ref name="remuseum.org.uk">[http://www.remuseum.org.uk/articles/rem_article_assaultbridge.htm] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080527100326/http://www.remuseum.org.uk/articles/rem_article_assaultbridge.htm |date=May 27, 2008 }}</ref> This vehicle was a modified [[Mark I tank|Mark V]] tank. Two support functions for these Engineer Tanks were developed: bridging and mine clearance. The bridging component involved an assault bridge, designed by Major [[Charles Inglis (engineer)|Charles Inglis]] RE, called the Canal Lock Bridge, which had sufficient length to span a [[canal lock]]. Major Martel mated the bridge with the tank and used [[Fluid power|hydraulic power]] generated by the tank's engine to maneuver the bridge into place. For mine clearance the tanks were equipped with 2 ton [[Mine roller|rollers]].
