Please excuse if this is a duplicate entry.
This appeared in my Pinterest feed.
This photograph was taken in 1919 and shows a fully tracked Latil TAR 4WD lorry in French Army service. The wheels have been removed and replaced with four tracked units to help it negotiate muddy undulating rough terrain. These are the later version of the ‘Mécanisme à Chenille’ track units as they are more triangular in shape. This gave the lorry higher ground clearance. (Photo Avant-Train-Latil.com)

Wow! Very cool!
Something for MiniArt? And I promise I won't run it into a half-track.
Looks like this inspired Games Workshop when drawing up the Militarum Tempestus' "Taurox Prime".
