There's a few around, they must have been as popular as Model T's!
This one is in a museum in NSW:

I have been on the hunt for many years for a WW1 FWD. So far I can locate 5 here in OZ. the one in your photo used to be in the now defunct museum in Tasmania. There was another in a West Australian museum also now defunct and the one in Alice Springs.
The South Australian Military museum has the bones of another and the fifth, well thats a secret. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find one. Rick

I'm amazed at the numbers still surviving in Australia: if there are 5 or 6 "known" ones you can bet there are quite a few more scattered around thanks to the great Aussie farmer tradition of never throwing anything away (Until the great great grandkids have the big clearing sale and sell it all for scrap...)
One assumes that FWD, or FourWheel Drive was a copyrighted name? Yet it has appeared on many makes and models for years now. What a litigous minfield that would be. Thankyou one and all for the prompt answers, I think it is a great photo. Rich.
