History:
The Garford Putilov was one of the most heavily armed armoured cars of WWI, typically mounting a 76.2mm field gun and multiple machine guns. Following the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war, captured examples were used by various factions, including the German Freikorps in the Baltic and Eastern Europe during 1919–1921. These vehicles were repurposed for anti-Bolshevik operations, reflecting the complex political and military environment of the time.
