This is from Greatwardifferent. The caption reads:

On the Russian Front - the formidable and valuable Belgian armoured car.

As sometimes happened on contemporary magazines and newspapers, the illustrations were considered unimportant or merely decorative. This way I've seen bogus "German aeroplane bomber" that in fact were Sturtevant aircraft made in the USA. Same goes with several pictures of purportedly bloody battles, which were staged or pictures of pre-war maneouvres.

This is a "Seabrock Armoured Car".
Wroten: "Fronto russo" - it is no in Russia, it is in West-Front!!!

Sorry Ivan, This is were I am an expert, this is not a Seabrook, This is an American Mack Armored Car, which was used by the New York National Guard. It never was sent to Europe.

I see that Seabrooks were made in the USA (Chicago?), and used by the WD, RN and RNAS, with the last ones imported into the UK in 1917. What happened to the company as i can find no reference to it?
