Description: | At the start of the First World War, Britain was still a strong imperial power. The government was able to draw support from people in its colonies across the globe.
Millions of people enlisted to fight in the British army, including men from Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, the West Indies, New Zealand and India.
This photo was taken in France during the war. British and Indian soldiers are posing on a B-type bus. Hundreds of these buses were sent from London to transport troops and supplies on the Front. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - London Transport Museum collection | Subjects: | Power and Politics London at War | Temporal: | 1914-1918 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
