EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a Commercar lorry parked outside an Army Barracks in Devonport, Plymouth, Devon, England during World War I. The image offers a glimpse into the logistical efforts that were essential to the war effort, with the lorry loaded high with supplies and equipment. The Commercar lorry, a common sight on the roads during this period, was a versatile vehicle used for transporting goods and troops. Its sturdy design and reliable performance made it an invaluable asset to the military. The barracks in the background, with their imposing walls and barbed wire fencing, serve as a reminder of the military presence and the heightened sense of security during wartime. Soldiers can be seen in the foreground, engaged in various activities, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The image also reveals the harsh realities of war, with the muddy ground and drab surroundings reflecting the challenging conditions that the soldiers and logistical personnel endured. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the crucial role that logistics played in ensuring the survival and success of the military forces. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the daily life and operations of the army during this period. The photograph's high-quality print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, makes it an excellent addition to any collection focused on military history, World War I, or the history of transportation.
