Sir William Ashbee Tritton, JP, was a British expert in agricultural machinery, and was directly involved, together with Major Walter Gordon Wilson in the development of the tank. Early in World War I he was asked to produce tractors for moving heavy howitzers, the result being eventually the first tanks.
