	Armoured Car Section, BAF
		The Armoured Car Section, Rangoon Battalion, BAF, was embodied on 6th December 1941 for its three day annual training camp at Mingaladon Airport north of Rangoon, Burma, and was thus already at its “action station” when a state of war with Japan was declared on 7th December 1941.
		The cars were based on a 1920 Rolls Royce chassis but unlike the more familiar Rolls Royce armoured cars used elsewhere by the British, the Indian Pattern cars did not have the platform at the rear.
		By 1936 most armoured cars in service in India had been replaced by light tanks and the cars were distributed to volunteer forces in India and neighbouring countries.

	Rolls-Royce Armoured Car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rolls-Royce armoured car was an armoured car developed in 1914 and used in World War I and in the early part of World War II.
		Armoured bodywork and a single turret for a machine gun were added to a Rolls Royce 40/50hp car (the engine had a maximum output of about 80 hp).

	Wz.34 - Polish armoured car
		The cars were rather addicted to the roads, and could not ford deeper rivers (after the battle of the Bzura, the cars form the 62nd and 71st battalions had to be destroyed on 16 September 1939, because they could not be withdrawn across the Bzura).
		According to the statistisc of armoured car losses (including 8 cars wz.29): 55% were combat losses, 35% were losses of technical reasons (probably the impossibility of withdrawal is also counted here), and 10% were caused by the lack of fuel.

		After a few minor adjustments the car was made a runner, and mechanically it appeared to be fairly sound with the exception of the steering which needs some attention.
		With regard to the armament and armour, it is noticeable that again the lack of attention paid to detail design considerably reduces the potency of the car as a fighting vehicle.
		The car was driven into a small muddy depression of clay and became completely bogged even though the differential was locked.
