EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during World War One, showcasing one of the London omnibuses repurposed by the British Naval Brigade as their primary mode of transport around the defenses of Antwerp. Taken in October 1914 on the road from Vieux Dieu, this image offers a glimpse into the resourcefulness and adaptability displayed by soldiers during times of conflict. The bus stands tall amidst a backdrop of towering trees, symbolizing both strength and resilience. Its presence signifies not only practicality but also camaraderie among troops as they navigate through challenging terrains together. The uniforms worn by these brave Royal Marines serve as a reminder of their dedication to duty and sacrifice for their country. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness more than just transportation; we see an essential lifeline connecting soldiers with vital supplies needed to sustain them on the front lines. This image encapsulates the spirit and determination exhibited by those who fought valiantly during World War One. Published in Daily Mirror on October 12th, this photograph holds historical significance that continues to resonate today. Through Tom Grant's lens, we are transported back to an era defined by turmoil and heroism. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity amidst adversity—a powerful visual representation of how ordinary objects can be transformed into extraordinary tools when placed in capable hands fighting for freedom.
