Depot Lorries Lorry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of a British transport depot during World War I. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and purpose as lorries, or heavy goods vehicles, line up in neat rows, ready to be loaded with essential supplies for the front lines. Soldiers in uniform, some with weary expressions, others with determined looks, move briskly about the depot, supervising the loading process and ensuring that every detail is attended to. In the background, more lorries can be seen arriving, their drivers jumping down to join their comrades, ready to make the next delivery. The photograph provides a glimpse into the vital role that transport played in the war effort, with these vehicles serving as the lifeline that connected the home front to the battlefields. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who worked tirelessly to keep the war machine running, and the crucial part that transport played in the ultimate victory of the Allied forces. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the First World War.
