Armoured Vehicles
Armoured
vehicles, what are they? An armoured vehicle is a regular car that they had in
the 1890’s with metal all around the body of the car. The very first armoured
car was designed and built by British inventor F.R. Simms in 1898. When he
created it, it was a bike with a gun attached to the front with an iron shield
protecting your face.

The first armoured car was used in September 1920. While it was in use, the car didn’t have very good protection. If the soldiers were being shot at they would crouch down. There was many different builds of the car which also did not provide much protection. I’m not quite sure how they drove these around but they managed to pull it off.
I enjoy the article and the pictures are funny! its interesting how this eventually turned into a tank. I wonder if the bikes were used often or more a test which im assuming didn't go to well.
