British forces in Palestine featured an armored component. Note the Vickers light tank Mk III armed with a turret-mounted .50-cal. Vickers machine gun (chambered for 12.7x81 mm British).

An appreciable reduction in weight has been also effected, for whereas the older weapon ready for use weighed 69 pounds, the new gun weighs only 36 pounds.

Case in point, this motorcycle that the British Army had built in and around 1919, complete with a sidecar and what looks to be a Vickers water-cooled machine gun. Dope.
