Description: | A corporal (left) and three private soldiers of the London Transport (L.T.) Home Guard march through the yard at Chiswick Works, possibly on their way to sentry duty.
There are two S.T.L.-type buses and some private cars the background. The roof of the low building on the right appears to be covered in camouflage paint.
One of the main roles of the L.T. Home Guard was to guard L.T.'s stations, power stations, depots and works against attack or infiltration by the enemy. From 1941 the Home Guard were armed and given uniform like regular soldiers. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 20 Mar 1941 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
