Just thought I would share something I found. Its an image from Wikipedia that claims to be "destroyed English anti-aircraft guns" from 1918, but its clearly a Canadian Autocar!
I believe only one autocar was lost in action during the German spring offensive of 1918, so this must be it.
I have seen similar pictures in the past of this same vehicle, but not this exact picture. Note the soldiers in the background, wearing German headgear. This picture must have been taken by a German photographer, while the offensive was still rolling forward.

(the picture was discolored and scratched so I touched it up a bit)
