By Jack McRoberts -West Australia on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 - 06:45 pm:While I was leafing through a book titled "Chauvel of the Light Horse" by Alec Hill yesterday, I came across this photo of a T staff car, circa 1917/18.
It was of interest because of the limit straps on the rear axle. Although I've seen photos of quite a few WW1 Ts, I'd not seen any of these in use before.
BTW, do you think Cox knew there was a photographer in the vicinity ?

These Model T Light Cars, which were in use by the British and Empire armies during WW1, all came from the Manchester factory, so they were a mirror image of the equivalent US produced vehicle.
The LC 1357 (LC = Light Car) number was the military registration - although it's a little obscured, there is a broad arrow between the LC and the number
