This photograph shows a Lanchester armored car in Russian service during the First World War, a British-designed vehicle supplied to Imperial Russia through Allied cooperation in 1915–1916. Originally built for the Royal Naval Air Service, Lanchesters were valued for their reliability, road speed, and turret-mounted machine gun, making them well suited to the Eastern Front’s road-bound warfare. Examples like this existed because British armored cars operated alongside Russian forces and were later transferred, re-crewed, or absorbed into Russian units as wartime shortages and logistical chaos deepened. Notice the M91 rifle sticking out of the driver's hatch
