I've seen old pictures of the Parisian taxis pressed into service to ferry French troops to the battle of the Marne in 1914, and they are clearly right hand drive (like British cars) even though the French have driven on the left since the time of Napoleon. I've also seen a photo of one of Kaiser Wilhelm's limousines, and the same is true. Why were these early cars right-hand drive, and when did the change-over take place?
