Description: | During the Second World War, 94 London Transport Green Line coaches were seconded to service with American armed forces. Some were used as transport, but 55 were converted into mobile canteens called Clubmobiles.
This postcard shows four American military personnel standing on the raised platform by the serving hatch of one of the converted coaches. An officer observes from the right as they are served refreshments by a Red Cross worker.
Postcards like this were produced for the American forces working in Britain to send home to their families. The printed text on the reverse reads: 'American Red Cross Clubmobiles staffed by American Girls bring hot coffee and doughnuts to U.S. forces overseas'. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | US Army Centre of Military History, Fort McNair, Washington DC 20319 | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 1941 - 1945 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
