EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First World War. In 1914, London buses were commandeered to transport Scottish troops to the front lines, becoming a common sight on French country roads. This particular bus, featured in the photograph, showcases advertisements for Pears soap and Dewars Scotch whiskey. The image speaks volumes about the resourcefulness and adaptability of wartime transportation. Every possible form of transport was utilized to ensure that soldiers reached their destinations efficiently. The double-decker bus stands as a symbol of British resilience and determination amidst the chaos of war. The presence of advertising on the bus adds an intriguing layer to this historical snapshot. It highlights how even during times of conflict, commercial interests continued to play a role in society. Pears soap represents cleanliness and hygiene, while Dewars Scotch whiskey may have provided some solace or respite for weary soldiers. Published in "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" by Odhams Press Ltd. , London in 1935, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice and bravery. It reminds us that wars are fought not only by armies but also by ordinary people who find themselves caught up in extraordinary circumstances. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the courage displayed by those who served their countries during World War I.
