Landships II

The Case armoured car was presented to the 'Overseas Battalion of Canadian Volunteers of Victoria' by a citizen of British Columbia. It went to France in 1915 and is reputed to have seen active service. It had an armoured cab and an open pick up like back on which was mounted a maxim or vickers mg behind a revolving three sided shield ( a bit like the Ford Model T armoured cars used by the RNAS in Russia).
Case were an American firm building passenger cars and based in Racine Wisconsin, they only lasted from 1910 to 1917.
I'll scan a photo and post later.

Good stuff Robert , did you get this from Bart Vanderveen's book on Military Wheeled Vehicles 1900-1940 or from another source?
