The motor-bus in war

A memoir by an Army Service Corps officer that chronicles the mechanics of keeping an army supplied: loading railhead depots, organizing motor-lorry and motor-bus convoys, maintaining workshops, and negotiating mud, weather, and mechanical breakdowns on roads behind the lines. It describes daily routines at railheads, convoy discipline and techniques, challenges of winter travel, repair practices, and interactions with allied troops, and follows logistical movements through sectors including Béthune, Ypres, the Somme, Arras, and beyond. The narrative emphasizes practical detail over combat, highlighting the vital but often overlooked work of transport and supply services.
