Description: | London General Omnibus Company (L.G.O.C.) driver Mr George Edward Morris poses with his conductor at the side of a B.-type bus. This photo was taken the year the First World War started.
Morris was born in Herefordshire in 1885. He moved to London and began working on the buses in his early 20s, while living in Battersea. The first company he worked for was the Star Omnibus Company, but he later moved to the L.G.O.C.
Like many other drivers, his was a reserved occupation during the First World War, so he continued to drive buses around London. Morris retired in the 1920s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War Work | Temporal: | 1914 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
