Notes | The firm of Rolls-Royce had been supplying the British army with armoured cars since the First World War. Between the wars these vehicles went through a modernisation period which saw various patterns accepted for service the first of these was the 1920 pattern and followed by the 1924 pattern. In 1940 34 1924 pattern cars that were serving in Egypt were again modified, the turret was fixed and was opened topped. The vehicle mounted a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle plus a Bren Light Machine Gun. These Cars saw action with the 11th Hussars in Egypt. |
