Armoured Car Attack


The Duke of Westminster’s squadron of armoured cars attack the Senussi camp at Asisa in Tripoli in mid-March 1916. They were based on Rolls Royce cars which the Duke was able to purchase due to his very healthy bank balance. The illustration, by Caton Woodville, is taken fromThe Great World War, a History, vol 5 edited by Frank A Mumby (Gresham Publishing)
