Destination Western Front 2nd Edition

Through extensive research into the archives of the Army Service Corps and the London General Omnibus Company, Destination Western Front tells the true story of the omnibus in the Great War. The author, Roy Larkin, uses over 125 period images to help bring this incredible story to life. In this second edition, Larkin focuses on Army Service Corps omnibus companies on the western front and the London General Omnibus Company on the home front. This book looks at the men and women at home and abroad during the First World War. The conditions and horrors of the First World War are well documented and beyond compare. The sheer courage, endurance and often heroic stoicism of the omnibus drivers in the conditions of the Western Front defy the imagination but through this book Roy Larkin tries to bring their stories to life once more.
