Ready for the Uhlans—Belgian Armored Motor Cars

Reading edition

The flat lowlands of Belgium and northern France are networked with perfect roads, making possible very rapid movement of troops. Armored motor cars have been much used by all the armies, especially as escorts for aviators. The car on the left carries a machine gun; the one on the right is simply armored with sheet steel to stand heavy fire.

The Belgians employed these cars extensively in the first month of the war, in their attempt to prevent the raids of the German cavalry.
