During the First World War, buses were considered important on both the home and western fronts. Many London buses were adapted and used by the War Department to transport troops to and from the front line in Europe.

Others (like the one above) were converted into lofts for carrier pigeons that were used to ferry messages and carry information across enemy lines.
