GWB-61 – London Bus and Truck Driver
One of the most remarkable sights on the Western Front was the appearance of vehicles that had once been familiar features of civilian life in Britain.
London buses were requisitioned for military service during the First World War, with vehicles adapted for carrying troops and supplies. Their distinctive appearance made them an unusual but memorable part of Britain's wartime transport system.
GWB-61 – London Bus and Truck Driver provides the essential driver for a John Jenkins Designs military transport scene.
Drivers faced difficult roads, congestion, poor weather and the constant movement of troops and supplies. Vehicles operating closer to the front could also encounter shell damage and roads churned into mud by enormous volumes of traffic.
The figure works naturally with a London bus or suitable truck, transforming the vehicle from a static model into part of an active transport network.
Available through The Military Workshop – a highly useful John Jenkins Designs driver representing the men who took civilian vehicles onto the roads of the Great War.
Brand: John Jenkins
