Description: | Australian soldiers, some of them wearing slouch hats, are disembarking a B-type bus at the Victoria League Club. A number of women in the building opposite watch with interest.
The league was set up in 1901 to promote friendship and understanding among the people of the commonwealth. It was still operating century later.
Australians joined the war as part of the British Empire, fighting in the Middle East and the Western Front in France and Belgium. They and their New Zealand colleagues were called the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, or ANZACS. | 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 |
