Armoured Something (Possibly) to Identify
Permalink   

Attched is photo of Queen Mary (not well camouflaged) visiting the Front in 1917. You will note that arrangements have been made to prevent Her Majesty's shoes from becoming soiled.

I can't make out the object on the right. It looks like something armoured. Is it a Schneider? If not, what?

I think the foliage atop her hat is a crude attempt at camouflage...

I don't think it's a Schneider as it lacks the 'blister' MG mounting which should be visible even at that perspective (unless there were some that lacked it, I don't know enough about them).

Maybe a St Chamond with a load of gubbins on the roof?

St Chamond with no gubbins on the roof

Yes, you're right!

And look what I found on my PC (attached)...

I've juxtaposed them to make it a bit easier to see what's what.
