General notes
During WWI over 6000 vehicles were produced at Leyland for the war effort. All civilian production at Leyland ceased, and the three-ton subsidy vehicle became the main product. in 1917, in a change from trucks, a fleet of special heavy armoured cars fitted with quick firing guns and searchlight equipment were manufactured for Sir John Willoughby's 1st Armoured Battery, as a privately subscribed gift to the nation. (from the Chorley Guardian)
