During WW1, Seabrook lorries were converted to carry a 3 pounder QF Vickers-Maxim naval gun and two Maxim machine guns. Commissioned by the Royal Navy, the armoured lorries formed part of the Royal Naval Armoured Squadrons. Their role was to provide gunfire support to the RNAS armoured cars. This model was from the Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company but is not available from Empress Miniatures:
The crew are wearing khaki uniforms rather than the Royal Naval uniforms that were used in the first months of the war. Perhaps this is why the flag pole has been allowed to become corroded – not up to the usual standards of the Royal Navy!
