EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of delivery at the Royal Army Service Corps Motor Transport (RASC MT) Depot in Rouen, northern France, during the final stages of the First World War in May 1918. The image shows a British Army lorry being carefully unloaded from a ship using a large crane, with the quay and dockside facilities in the background. The arrival of this motor transport vehicle was essential to the ongoing military operations, as it would be used to transport supplies and equipment to the front lines. The RASC played a crucial role in the logistical support of the British Army during the war, ensuring the timely delivery of essential resources to the troops. The tracks leading away from the quay suggest that the lorry is about to embark on its mission, making this moment a pivotal one in the larger narrative of the conflict. The image offers a glimpse into the complex web of logistics and supply chains that underpinned the British war effort in France, and serves as a poignant reminder of the immense effort and resources required to sustain a major military campaign.
