  Those pistols seem a little surplus to requirments with those two Lewis gun teams on deck !!.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  philip ward I think it's safe to say that this shot is very posed! Not convinced that they were aiming at anything in particular besides providing a good propaganda photo...

• Acrid Home said:

  Given there are no spent cartridges on the deck I would agree its posed. Free State Government had a very good Propaganda Department alright.

  Same group with MG08: Photo believed to be taken around Arras April 1917

• Mark Finneran said:

  just to add that the MG08 fitted to a sled was never meant to be manouverable. The Germans were masters of the 'area' weapon at the beginning of WWI and indeed smaller trench mounts were made for the 08 increasing front line use. Finally the lewis was around in 1914.

Armored Motor Truck.

  Great image! This looks like an armored vehicle that Colonel T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) might have considered for his desert campaigns in the Middle East during WWI. Lawrence was quick to adopt Rolls Royce armored cars in his later efforts. My grandfather, Sergeant John Campbell of the Tenth Australian Light Horse, met Col. Lawrence in Cairo.
