Automiltraileuse Platoon

Automiltraileuse Platoon
Includes three White AM 1915/1918 Armoured Cars

The French Army saw the usefulness of armoured cars as part of the offensive in the grand manoeuvres to exploit the offensive’s success. The formation of mechanised squadrons who would support the mounted troops was first considered as part of the general theorising for breaking the deadlock of trench warfare. This combination of horse and petrol was seen as the return of the armour to the cavalry who had lost its decisive battle weight in modern warfare.
