Description | The London Motor Bus at the Front, WW1 |
Details |
London buses in use at the Front to transport British infantry soldiers who are pictured hurrying to fill the gaps in the Armentieres-Ypres line in November 1914. The moving of troops was one of the premier purposes of the buses on the front, though the incongruity of seeing them in the war-torn landscape was a novelty.
