The British Army of 1914 lacked motorised transport, so following the outbreak of war and by the time of the First Battle of Ypres, the War Office had commandeered a number of London buses along with their drivers. These soon became known as ‘Old Bill Buses‘ with a reference to Bairnsfather’s Old Bill character.
