Description
The motor car salved by 15th Brigade in March 1918. The driver is Corporal W. Heise of the 60th Battalion. It was used chiefly for reconnaissance work, and during the counter-attack on Villers Bretonneux, on 24 April 1918, it was with this car that the hastily conceived plans for the operation were communicated to the commanding officers concerned.
