About Type J Lorry - With QF 13-Pounder AA Cannon:

Much like other new weapons seen during the Great War, the first anti-aircraft guns were crude in nature. Some of the first British AA weapons would be 13-pound guns mounted in the bed of a Thornycraft J-type lorry. This equipment would also be accompanied by two other lorries carrying range-finding equipment and ammunition.

Early AA weapons faced new problems never seen before in combat. Unlike ground targets, aircraft can effectively move in three dimensions. The weapon would not only have to accurately target the aircraft, but also fire rounds with enough velocity to reach great altitudes. These techniques would be refined as the war continued, but little data exists as to how effective these weapons were in downing enemy aircraft.

About D-Type - WWI British Staff Car:

At about the same time Henry Ford began producing Model T’s in the United States, Vauxhall set out to design a car for the war effort. The onset of the Great War saw an expansion of automobile design and production. The “D-Type” model was reserved for military commanders and their staff, who often preferred it to horses. In the age of the machine gun and barbed wire, motor vehicles in all forms began to replace horses as the main mode of transportation both in and out of battle. Along with planes and tanks, the automobile would prove to be another major field of advancement during the Great War.

About the Ordnance QF 4.5-inch Howitzer

Among the technological advancements of the First World War, nations set out to produce modern artillery that could be used against fortified positions. The stalemate on the Western Front found designers trying to produce a weapon that could dislodge soldiers from their trenches. The British 4.5-inch howitzer was among the wide variety of artillery produced to accomplish this goal. These guns would see continued use through the Second World War and would be completely phased out in 1944.
