Description: | A party of soldiers prepares to go on an outing on a B-type bus during the First World War (1914-18). Having been wounded in the fighting, they returned home to convalesce. Two nurses stand on the right. The building in the background is probably a hospital.
The advert on the bus is for a play by Hall Caine, then one of the best-read English authors. During the war he wrote many patriotic articles. He was made a Knight of the British Empire in 1918 by Lloyd George. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure 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 |
