Allied Motor Transport Park, France, World War I
This weathered photograph documents an Allied motor transport park somewhere in France during the First World War. Rows of canvas-topped trucks sheltered beneath open sheds illustrate the enormous logistical operation required to keep armies supplied along the Western Front. The muddy grounds and fog-shrouded tree line are characteristic of the difficult conditions troops and support units faced throughout the war. Project: 218664
