Austin and Poplavko-Jeffery
Permalink   


In looking through Grosser Bildatlas der Weltkriegs online In Band 3 Page 219 there is a picture of some captured Russian "Panzerautos" one looks like a Austin and the other looks like an Poplavko-jeffery and there might be another one behind them that i can't id. Perhaps some on this site can id them ect.

I see one Austin (Series 2, maybe?), and two Poplavko-Jefferys. The third armoured car, that you couldn't identify, is another Poplavko-Jeffery, just parked the other way around. There is a truck as well, but I am no good at identifying trucks!

 I think alfisherjr pointed to some of the pages from the University of Wisconsin digital library a few years ago: http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/History/History-idx?type=simple&size=First+100&rgn=Title&q1=Grosser+Bilderatlas+des+Weltkrieges&work=&submit=Search and James H to the (1916) Bilderatlas volumes specifically and more recently - http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/History/History-idx?type=browse&scope=History.Bilderatlas (References section).  The entryway is http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/History/ (much more material in there, I'm sure) and the picture under discussion should be in the third of these links:

Thanks for the extra info. Ah, and you don't have to type those links for most web pages, just click in the browser url window/bar at the top which selects the address, you can then copy it (Ctrl-C works in the Windows computers, or right-click, select "Copy") and paste it where you want (Ctrl-V), in a post in another window or to Notepad or equivalent for later use.

Here's the screen with the address selected (it highlights when selected)

Here's the detail of the address bar (before selection - not highlighted)

It should work the same way with any browser (and, more-or-less) with any operating system:

Sorry about not putting a link with it but, typing in a mile long or so it seems email addresses just isn't something i am good at. I have another little tidbit of RIA armored car use. In the book The End of Chivalry by A Wrangel it has on pages 169-170 an account of a RIA armored car in action. It was in July 1915 with the 2nd Combined Cossack Division with the XIV corps (3rd Army?). It mentions the armored car shelling a target so it looks like it was cannon armed. Finally thanks for the above help.

Just to add to Steve's instructions, for Mac users swap "ctrl  c" and "ctrl  v" for "command  c" and "command  v"; the "command" key is the one with the apple on it, next to the spacebar.
