The German rush through the Low Countries and France proved the great value of small but extremely mobile mechanized units, and the British Army has profited by the lesson. The result is the new small armoured cars, nicknamed “Ironsides," with which a famous cavalry regiment has been equipped. In these photographs below, Cars of this type are seen in action during exercises.



Above, men are leaping from their cars with their guns; while below, with the “Ironside" under cover of trees, they advance at the double.



Here is a close up of an "Ironside" with one of its crew. These little cars were not only fast, but could negotiate the roughest country.




Below is a squadron of “Ironsides" with the crews lined up to receive instructions from their officer.
