Destination Western Front, written and published by Roy Larkin,

tells the story of London's omnibuses during the Great War of 1914-18.

Extensive research using the archives of the War Office, the Army Service Corps and the London General Omnibus Company

has allowed the true and remarkable story of London's buses during WW1 to be told for the first time.

Over 100 genuine period images on 80 high quality gloss pages bring the story to life for the

Western and Home Fronts, the pre-war military trials and the manufacture of buses and lorries for the War Office.
