In January, I finally found the answer to a question I had stirring around in my head for years: How did the British military get the troops to the front lines in the First World War? The question didn’t disturb me enough to get me out of my chair and find out, but I wondered about this for a long time. Well, I ran into the answer when I was at the Imperial War Museum: Ole Bill. This was a London bus that like many others was taken to the front lines and used to transport soldiers to the front lines in this hideous World War I conflict which was more like a family argument. When I saw this bus, I smiled from ear to ear. I thought I would post this image for my readers. Some of you were probably wondering the same thing. What an ingenious plan–of course! The London Bus. Yikes, how simple. OLE BILL– OK, Kaiser Wilhelm, here we come!
