EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early years of the First World War, London buses were repurposed to serve a vital role in transporting troops to the front lines in France. These iconic vehicles, fashioned for commercial use, took on a new mission as makeshift military transports. In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Collection, a line of London buses are seen parked at a railway station, ready to embark on their journey to the North of France. Soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, wait patiently by the buses, their expressions a mix of anticipation and apprehension. The buses, adorned with military insignia, were an important addition to the British Army's transport network, enabling the swift and efficient movement of troops to the battlefields. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the unexpected ways in which everyday objects and infrastructure were repurposed during times of war. The London buses, once synonymous with the bustling streets of the city, became a symbol of the Great War's impact on everyday life and the resourcefulness of those who served.
