Description: | This London General Omnibus Company (L.G.O.C.) B.-type bus is transporting wounded soldiers to a matinee performance at His Majesty's Theatre.
The covers over the side of the bus were the waterproofs provided by the L.G.O.C. to protect passengers travelling outside on the top deck during wet weather.
The Theatre, in Haymarket, stands in the background. The name of the theatre is changed according to whether the reigning monarch is a king or a queen. It became Her Majesty's Theatre in 1952 at the accession of Queen Elizabeth II. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Graphic Union/ News International Newspapers Ltd | Subjects: | 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 |
