There were many hundreds of Holt 5- and 10-ton artillery tractors in service on the Western Front by the time of the Armistice.
During the 1920s a number of these tractors were declared surplus and sold for civilian use. There are some survivors as well as
remnant machines restored to working condition. Found on YouTube:

great to see that these are still running.
Someone mentioned: "Top speed is 15 mph, which is pretty fast for off-roading 100 years ago."
Thanks for sharing.
