There is no definitive explanation of the eleven circular marks on the side of the vehicle (two in the door and nine along the hull. They are plainly not gun ports - they would be at ankle level. I read somewhere that they were intended to house poles from which barbed wire would be hung, presumably to ward off enemy infantry. I cannot recall seeing anything in the sources that actually says they were gun ports. Hengistmate (talk) 21:47, 27 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Removed. It implies there is some comparison or link between this vehicle and Little Willie. There were numerous attempts to convert wheeled tractors and rollers into armoured vehicles, none of them successful. Little Willie ran on tracks and was the embryonic tank. Comparison with the Frot-Laffly is misplaced. Hengistmate (talk) 12:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
