A word from
THE MASTER
It is with great pleasure that I welcome Sheriff Fiona Adler,
together with the many Livery Company Masters and their
Clerks, our Liverymen, Freemen, Apprentices and all their
guests to Cart Marking this year.
DID YOU K N O W ?
+ The Road Danger Reduction Partnership is
made up of the City of London (CoL), City of
London Police, Crossrail, London Fire Brigade,
Greater London Authority and Transport for
London.
+ We are amongst the first local authorities to
be trialling vehicle safety equipment on our
refuse fleet.
+ We are the first local authority to be
accredited and are awarded FORS (Fleet
Operators Recognition Scheme) Gold for
being 100% driver & vehicle compliant.
+ All our Large Goods Vehicle driver’s carry out
Safer Urban Driver courses, where as part of
the course they cycle in the City.
+ All our fleet driver’s are safety assessed
before using Corporation vehicles.
+ The CoL Considerate Contractors Scheme
now has as part of the Annual Awards a
category for Road Danger Reduction.
+ The City of London has been a 20mph zone
since 20th July 2014.
+ The CoL are CLOCS Champions (Construction
Logistics & Cycle Safety).
Sixteen years ago, Cart Marking was the
very first Carmen event I attended. On that
occasion, I remember being so struck by
the spectacle of the event and the warm
Carmen welcome I received. Like our
friendships within the Livery, the event goes
from strength to strength. After the Lord
Mayor’s Show, Cart Marking is now the
next largest annual civic event in the City. I
am therefore delighted that Sheriff Fiona is
able join us today – she is a good friend of
the Worshipful Company of Carmen, so it
really is an honour that she joins us today.
The Marking of Carts re-enacts the
obligation placed on carters, who by
statute had to be Liverymen of the Carmen
Company, to pay 5 shillings for the right to
ply for hire in the City. It is therefore widely
considered, the earliest form of vehicle
licensing.
Events of this magnitude require a great
deal of complex, multi-agency planning
and preparation. The Carmen are therefore
extremely grateful to the Cart Marking
Panel, lead by Assistant Stephen Britt. As
you might imagine, planning for Cart
Marking 2016 is already underway, with
the Panel always having the challenge of
providing different, interesting, and relevant
vehicles each year. After six years on the

Sheriff Fiona Adler
Born in Chelmsford, Essex and educated
at New Hall School, before attending
University and graduating with a BA
(Hons) degree, Fiona emigrated to
South Africa to train in structural
engineering. Returning to the
UK to work in the Tobacco
Trade, she travelled to Europe,
America, China and other Far
Eastern countries, promoting UK
manufactured products. After selling
her shareholdings in five diversified
businesses in 2000, Fiona retrained as a
Neuro Linguistic Programme (NLP) coach. She now has a coaching
practice in Hampshire specialising in helping children to overcome
bullying. Fiona became a Liveryman in 1997 and was the first female
in the Company’s History to be a Freeman, Trustee of the Benevolent
Fund and subsequently Master, of the Worshipful Company of Tobacco
Pipe Makers and Tobacco Blenders. She is a Trustee of the Oxford
and Bermondsey Youth Club, serves on the Mencap Special Events
Committee and works closely with charities to enable disadvantaged
young people in and around London. Fiona is a member of Guild of
Freemen, The City Livery Club, Queenhithe Ward Club, The United
Wards’ Club and also a season ticket holder at Southampton Football
Club, although she says that’s more of a guilty secret than a hobby, as
she comes from a family passionate about rugby!
Ann Esslemont
Master Glover
Ann Esslemont joined the Glovers’
Company in 1997 and became Master
Glover on 14 November, 2014. She
is a past Chairman of Walbrook
Ward Club and has enjoyed a long
association with a range of City
organisations including Farringdon
Ward Club, United Wards Club,
Guild of Freemen, City Livery Club
and the Royal Society of St George.
In 2012, she also became one of the
first female Liverymen of the Broderers
Company.
Lieutenant Colonel Paul Holder RLC The Master Carman
Lieutenant Colonel Paul Holder joined
the Army in 1983; his career has
been varied and extraordinary.
Early beginnings with tactical
nuclear missiles and Soviet
forces were soon followed by
operational tours and postings
around the globe. His links with
the City started in 1999 when
he was selected for a one off
appointment as Military Assistant to the
Lord Mayor.
Following his time in Mansion House, he joined the Carmen, and was
seconded to Buckingham Palace and the Home Office to work on the
Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations. His London links were reinforced
when he commandeered Regent’s Park Barracks. Since then he has
been deployed on a number of operations in Afghanistan and with the
United Nations.
For the last three years he has commanded the Scottish Transport
Regiment (now retitled 154 (Scottish) Regiment RLC). His last six months
in command were particularly busy as he was responsible for logistically
delivering the Armed Forces Day 2014 National Event in Stirling and
the Commonwealth Games.
He is a keen sportsman who enjoys Nordic and Alpine skiing, canoeing,
hill walking, trekking, mountain biking and running. His greatest passions
are travelling, photography and charity work.
Billy Dove OBE JP
Chief Commoner
Born and raised in Yorkshire, Billy Dove
was educated at the village school
and then the grammar school
and came to London in 1958
for teacher training. For his first
teaching practice in December
1958, Billy was sent to the East
End and thus began a life-long
love affair with that wonderful part
of London.
Ann’s hobbies include family, fast cars, food, wine and travel, and
helping with the upkeep of vestments at Westminster Abbey, particularly
the gold embroidery, and the Heralds Tabards for the College of Arms.
Billy’s first job was at Sir John Cass School,
EC3 and he lived at Toynbee Hall as a resident
volunteer. He was appointed MBE for his years there.
Ann is a widow with two sons and three grandchildren.
In 1993, he was elected to the Common Council for Bishopsgate Ward
of which he is now Deputy (Senior Member). He has served on more
than thirty committees, the most outstanding of which was as Chairman
of the City Bridge Trust Committee for three years during which time £53
million was distributed.
He was honoured to be elected as Chief Commoner in October 2014
and took up office on St George’s Day 2015, when local children
danced the Flamborough Sword Dance to honour his native village.

Mercedes-Benz Econic –
It’s Clear To See,
It’s Built For The City
While other manufacturers scrabble to bring
to market trucks adapted to work in urban
environments, the Mercedes-Benz Econic has been
demonstrating the solution for the past 16 years.
The Econic.
A vision of safety.
With a unique low-entry cab, panoramic windscreen and low
driving position, the Econic presents an unrivalled, unrestricted
field of vision. And class-leading safety features like the most
advanced camera system, available from August, make it ideal
for every inner city distribution operation.
Find out more at www.mbtrucks.co.uk/highvis
Purpose-designed from scratch to combine
versatility, ergonomics and safety like no other
commercial vehicle, the Econic is quite simply in a
class of its own.
It features a unique low-entry cab which, coupled
with the outstanding quality that comes as
standard from Mercedes-Benz, allows the vehicle
to offer operators in busy city centres exactly
what they need: efficiency, safety, environmental
compatibility and comfort.
Specialist tasks are the norm for the Econic –
whether used as a refuse collection or recycling
vehicle, for inner city distribution or road
maintenance, or as a fire appliance, it provides a
versatile and easy-to-operate chassis platform.
A Daimler Brand
Key to the Econic’s appeal is its innovative lowentry, aluminium space-framed cab, clad with
sheet-moulded composite fibre (SMC) panels.
The reduced height and low driving position are
complemented by a deep, panoramic windscreen
which accords the driver an unrivalled field
of vision to the front and both sides – a clear
advantage when driving through built-up areas, or
complex urban environments which are shared by
pedestrians and cyclists.
Tel 0800 090 090 / 0333 220 6608 (if your mobile phone provider charges for freephone numbers)
From the lower seating position the driver has
unimpeded cross cab vision, and is at the same
level as pedestrians and cyclists, which means
that direct eye-to-eye contact can be easily made
between both parties.
To further enhance the range of vision, and at
the same time minimising blind spots, the cab’s
kerbside has an air-operated, fully glazed, floor-toceiling door. This opens bus-style, by folding into
the vehicle, and allows the driver and crew to see
any obstacles, or third parties, that may otherwise
be hidden.
Econics are designed and built with additional prewiring. This allows bodybuilders to simply install
external cameras and dash-mounted monitors.
These cameras display images to the driver from
a number of angles around the vehicle and ensure
enhanced levels of safety for other road users.
To help drivers stay sharp and concentrate fully on
the surrounding environment, the Econic comes as
standard with an automatic transmission and an
array of driving aids and creature comforts. A fullwidth, electrically operated sunblind helps prevent
glare and heat build-up, while air conditioning
ensures maximum comfort at all times. All seats
come equipped with three point seatbelts.
Standard equipment also includes an arsenal
of essential Mercedes-Benz safety assistance
systems: the Electro-Pneumatic Braking System
(EPB) and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) improve
the performance of the brake system, thereby
contributing to the safety of the vehicle, its
occupants and other road users. The Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) adds greater security in
critical driving situations, and Acceleration Skid
Control (ASR) prevents the wheels from spinning.
As well as meeting Euro VI emissions levels, the
diesel engines offered in the Econic range provide
the lowest possible fuel consumption – offering
the cleanest vehicle with the lowest running costs
and CO2.
Perhaps the Econic’s biggest trump card is
its ability to meet the needs of almost any
application. Chassis come in an array of sizes and
configurations, all with easy mounting points to
suit a huge variety of body options. The MercedesBenz Econic delivers endless commercial
opportunities and its outstanding manoeuvrability
and visibility suit the confines of our towns and
city streets.
Sold and supported in the UK by the 96-strong,
strategically located Mercedes-Benz franchised
dealer network, the Econic enjoys the same levels
of engineering excellence found within other
Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
Being the inventor of the World’s first truck,
Mercedes-Benz is delighted to be involved with
the historical ritual, which dates back to 1665.
Cart Marking, where history meets the future with
Mercedes-Benz Econic.
Behind The Lines
Written By Liveryman CHRIS SALAMAN Honorary Archivist
Thy flete is our flete
One of the many requirements that a good fighting force needs to
keep up constant engagement is of course a good ‘back-up’ plan.
Tructyre weren’t around in 1517 but if we had
been, perhaps this would have been our strapline.
This enables fresh supplies of ammunition,
food and replacement troops to be moved up
‘as and when’ required. But to do this there
needs to be a good road system in place.
Initially the existing roads in Flanders were
very basic indeed...often no more than farm
tracks which were dusty in summer months
and muddy in winter.
The formation of a Labour Corps to work
on such a project relied on steam powered
wagons to carry the stone, etc.for this
maintenance. Fodens were the preferential
choice, but due to high demand other makes
were also supplied such as the Clayton steam
wagon built by Clayton & Shuttleworth,
which although lacking in performance was
otherwise a reliable machine. The driver was
seated astride the nearside chassis member
which gave him little vision, if any, of what
was visible on the other side of the wagon
(particularly when making a right turn)!
The transport industry remains
as critical to our economy
today as it did in 1517.
And we’re proud to support
the Worshipful Company of
Carmen and the work they do.
Tructyre are dedicated
to maximising vehicle uptime
for the modern fleet operator.

Early Tank Transportation
The initial development of the tank in warfare was something entirely
new to opposing armies during WWl, and required additional thought
when the need to move these somewhat heavy cumbersome pieces of
armament became necessary.
Motorised mechanical equipment was still in
its infancy, but new designs and techniques
were forever fast becoming available. Our
allies the French had developed a light
and fast tank (long before the heavy British
models that fought at Cambrai in 1917).
The French model was the Renault FT17,
that stayed in production well after the
hostilities ended, as it was a small and highly
manoeuvrable piece of armour. But even as
small as it was, it still weighed 7 tons and
provided a formidable piece to transport
(bearing in mind that the average military
truck of its time carried 3 tons!).
Renault thus adapted a standard 3 tonner to
carry the additional weight by adding a third
wheel to the back axle amongst other things!
When the heavier tanks arrived a totally new
concept of thinking had to be adopted to
carry these new and heavy weapons!

A DAY I N T H E L I F E O F
The Master
Lieutenant Colonel Paul Holder RLC
The Master
The two hardest questions I have been asked this year are: Describe a
typical day as the Master? What has been my favourite event so far?
Planning for a year as Master (which starts in the
third week of October) begins a long time before
you are installed. As a Company without our own
hall, we do have the pleasure of being able to
use different and impressive venues through my
year in office. During my initial planning, I was
very keen to take the Company to halls we had
not visited recently, albeit, as one of the largest
Livery Companies (500 Liverymen and over
200 Freemen), sometimes capacity is the biggest
factor.
Going back to the question of describing a typical
day… In a year where no two events or two days
are the same - there lies the challenge! As Master,
I have been very fortunate to take part in many
events throughout the City. Whether supporting
the Rt. Hon the Lord Mayor and his Sheriffs, the
other Livery Companies, our military affiliations
and schools, charities, or other civic events,
there is always something going on. On a few
occasions I have attended six events in a day, with
a typical week being 12-15 events. I conclude,
that no two days have ever been the same, and
thus a typical day does not exist!
Visiting the other 109 Livery Companies is always
a delight and pleasure. Each visit is certainly an
education, as I learn about the traditions and the
subtle differences between each Company. At this
point I would like to welcome those Masters and
Clerks visiting us today, and thank them for their
kind hospitality through my year.
In addition to our main Company events, I have
had the opportunity to deliver a number of
Master’s Special Events. So far we have had
events such as a lecture in the London Transport
Museum, two lunches on HQS Wellington,
cross-country driving with the Defence School
of Transport in Yorkshire, supper in the Guards
Museum, Beating Retreat on Horse Guards
Parade, and the Queen’s Birthday Parade (the
rehearsal and the day itself). Three weeks ago,
we held my biggest event of the year - The
Carmen Waterloo Ball.
Going back to the question of my favourite event
so far… As a military man, you would expect me
to be decisive, and I’m not going to let you down.
My favourite event, so far, has been the Carmen’s
Joint Services Awards Dinner. 18 months in the
planning, our Military Awards Dinner on the
22nd April, was a night to remember. Held in
the Guildhall, with HRH the Princess Royal as
my guest speaker, with many bands, displays,
wonderful food, wine and company, it was a night
I will always remember.

There is no question that this has been the most
wonderful year, and one I will always remember.
There is no doubt that being Master is a huge
privilege and an honour.

WHAT IS
Cart Marking
For centuries, the Corporation of the City
of London exercised its rights over carts
and carriers, with the number of ‘carts and
carrs’ plying for hire within the City limited
by Common Council. It was agreed that all
vehicles so licensed would bear an individually
numbered brass plate and be marked with the
City arms on the shafts.
This changed in 1838 when the power to
license was vested in The Keeper of the
Guildhall. The Hallkeeper was empowered
to license and mark the ‘carrs and carts’ of
Freemen of The Fellowship of Carmen to stand
and ply for hire in the City’s streets. Each
licensed vehicle was brought to the Guildhall
once a year to be ‘marked’, with each year
distinguished by a letter and each ‘carr’ by a
number. The letter being branded this year is the
letter ‘X’.
Times change and traditions alter. Today’s busy
City streets carry a very different type of traffic
in very different volumes.
In 1965 the final 18 ‘standings’ or ‘carrooms’
for ‘carrs and carts’ were deemed to contravene
parking regulations and were abolished, save a
token standing used for ceremonial purposes.
However, the time-honoured traditions continue
to be maintained by The Worshipful Company
of Carmen. Once a year, Carmen bring their
treasured vehicles – including vintage, modern
and even horse drawn rigs – to be branded, or
marked, with a red hot iron, on a wooden plate.
This ancient ceremony acts as a reminder of
centuries of service to the City.

The Austin heavy 12/4 taxicab was a resounding success when presented
for official sanctioning by the Public Carriage Office in London in the
very early 1930’s. The latter required a very high standard of design with
stringent amendments to all fittings and fixtures before licensing was
authorised. Their somewhat outdated ideals led to a well respected cab
industry whose ideology is still today rigidly enforced for both cab driver
and machine, and renowned the world over.

The Pierce Arrow 3 ton 7 litre army truck was an imported vehicle from
the US that was supplied in vast numbers to both the French and British
forces during WWl. All these lorries were shaft driven, as opposed to
chain drive on the more primitive early models that saw service on the
Western Front. They were subsequently fitted with many different types
of bodywork ranging from general service trucks to anti-aircraft gun
portees.

Urban deliveries necessitated a highly manoeuvrable vehicle capable of
tight turns and easy movement. The Scammell Mechanical Horse three
wheeled motive unit had been developed initially in the 1930’s from
a Napier patent and progressed onto becoming the SCARAB in post
war years with the option of either a three or six ton model, petrol or
diesel (Perkins) powered. This 1965 example is one of approximately 60
serviving Scarabs.

in 1962 in a very rough condition. This year is its 100th.anniversary and

Albion Motors of Scotstoun, Glasgow, have origins way back to the very
last days of the nineteenth century and had started constructing early
forms of motorised dog carts before embarking on greater things! By
the start of the Great War, they had developed a very successful range of
commercials many of which saw service with the Forces in one form or
another. By the end of hostilities in 1918, their vehicles had proved reliable
and as ‘sure as the sunrise’ as their radiator slogan proudly displayed!
This model here today is an A16 model dating from 1920, complete with
charabanc body that probably seated twenty passengers. Original picture
of vehicle when delivered to The New Zealand High Commision in 1920.

Ford ‘Thames Trader’ was the main competitor to the Bedford ‘S’ type of
the same late 50’s era, and likewise was eventually fitted with either the
4D or 6D diesel. Both versions proved highly successful and the Trader
was fitted with many different types of bodywork and wheelbase lengths.
There are many different examples in preservation today, proving their
popularity with operators.

The short wheelbase Thames Trader 7.5 ton payload tipper was also the
basis for the 10/12 ton articulated tractor unit. The latter had the option
of either a Scammell automatic coupling or standard type fifth wheel for

THE CARMEN’S
Military Awards 2015
The Carmen held their annual Joint Services Dinner
in Guildhall, City of London on Wednesday 22 April
2015, with Master Lieutenant Colonel Paul Holder RLC
presiding, attended by Senior Warden Mr Mark Griffiths
and Junior Warden Mrs Marsha Rae Ratcliff.
The event began with a Champagne Reception in the
Old Library during which the Master Carman and
Lieutenant General Andrew Gregory CB, watched over
by Past Master HRH The Princess Royal, signed a deed of
covenant between the Carmen Company and the Armed
Forces.
Once inside again, Carmen and Guests sat down to a
magnificent meal before Past Master HRH the Princess
Royal presented the Company’s Military Awards to the
Sword of Honour winner and Soldier of the Year from
the Royal Logistic Corps; Defence Movement School
from the RAF and RAF Cup and the RN Cup and RN
Medal. Past Master HRH The Princess Royal responded
to the Master’s toast to the Armed Forces and also
proposed the traditional Carmen toast.

WARRANT OFFICER 1 GAVIN WHITE RN
FLIGHT LIEUTENANT RICHARD RAY RAF
This award is given to Gavin for his ground-breaking achievement of
innovative storage and information systems to support the supply chain
at the start of her service, for HMS Queen Elizabeth, as her first Warrant
Officer Supply Chain. Before that, he helped ensure HMS Defender was
successfully brought into service from build, and was also instrumental
in ensuring all three remaining Type 45 destroyers in build were in the
best possible material state. Subsequently at HM Naval Base Clyde, he
provided a new outlook on assurance, dealt with manpower reductions,
and was key in the commissioning of Astute building, driving infrastructure
requirements for submarine logistics.
Richard completed Phase 3 training and then rapidly overtook his peers
at the Joint Movements Sqn RAF Akrotiri, identifying and implementing
improvements across the Squadron, including an electronic load control
and cargo system, replacing a 20 year old manual approach. He
adapted and developed utilisation of Brize Norton units at Akrotiri and
was deeply involved in the unique Akrotiri safety-first turn round plan for
Voyager aircraft. Whether cold calling unit areas, monitoring paper work,
developing trade-specific answers to complex questions, or instigating
enhancements, his efforts in achieving squadron and station goals have
been outstanding, especially for such a junior movements officer.
Everyone then went into Guildhall Yard to watch the RAF
Drill Display followed by the Band of the Royal Logistic
Corps and “Beating Retreat”.

INTRODUCING
The Goulasch Cannon
Written By Liveryman MIKE STONE
One of the more interesting items in the Cart Marking Parade
this year is the old mobile field kitchen known as a Gulaschkanone – which translates literally as a Goulasch Cannon.
Some background to this
fascinating exhibit. In 1892, Karl
Rudolf Fissler of Idar-Oberstein
in Germany invented a mobile
field kitchen for use in theatres
of war. German soldiers during
World War I quickly dubbed it Die
Gulaschkanone.
The ‘cannon’ part of this nickname is due to
the mobile kitchen’s close resemblance to an
artillery piece when disassembled and towed
behind a horse or motor vehicle, with its long
chimney tilted and posing as a cannon barrel.
The ‘goulasch’ part is derived from the iconic
Hungarian dish which was prepared on the
mobile field kitchen.
The goulasch cannon was designed to
function as a large pressure cooker, ideal
for quick cooking and stewing using limited
amounts of energy and could operate on
fire wood, coal, oil or whatever combustible
material was available.
This particular example is thought to have
been captured from the Germans by the British
in 1916 – a great morale booster - and used
by them for the rest of the war. It is believed to
have been in the UK for some 40 years, but
its wherabouts during that time remain largely
unknown. Although manufactured in Austria,
this Goulasch Cannon features springs made
in Sweden!
Goulasch Cannons are still used by fire
departments and humanitarian organisations
such as the Red Cross to provide warm food
and beverages to large crowds. In Germany
it has actually become somewhat of a cult
item, popping up at rock festivals and concerts
serving cheap soups and goulasch. There’s
even an old goulasch cannon in full operation
at the Wednesday and Friday market held at
the Wittenbergplatz in the heart of old West
Berlin.

As the world faces up to accelerating technological breakthroughs, climatic, social, economic and
demographic changes, supply chains must prepare to change with it. The evolution of supply
chains over the last century has demonstrated that high performance is achieved by being among
the first to recognise and react to the challenges and opportunities posed by a changing world.

Analysing the future megatrends PwC can predict the challenges and opportunities that
will be faced by supply chains in the coming decades. Conclusions show that the highest
performing supply chains are likely to be highly agile, information driven, humanised, and
capable of taking on and managing complex risk.

Message
Delivering value for the
road transport industry
from Past Master Emeritus Telfer Saywell,
Chairman of The Worshipful Company of
Carmen Benevolent Trust
Wondering why companies join us
and renew their membership?
Two lines of the Carmen’s Hymn include the words
‘And let us ever stride to heed/the cries of those in
direst need’.
The objects of the Worshipful Company of Carmen
comprise fealty to the Crown, support of the City and
the transport industry, and to assist those in need.
Delivery to those in need is the largest single
purpose, achieved through the Company’s
Benevolent Trust. This focuses first and foremost on
individuals thereafter on education and healthcare,
emphasizing disadvantaged, disabled or terminally
ill children, much of it through institutions with City or
historic transport association.
Over half of the grants currently made by the
Carmen Benevolent Trust go to causes outside the
Company’s core objectives, albeit, and ever since the
sixteenth century, always to ‘those in direst need’.
Thank You

A SECTOR PROUD TO BE AT CART MARKING
Retail shift from High Street to home delivery, the final mile, the
sector has never faced so many challenges and opportunities.
The workhorse icon of the eighties was
restored for the IOC in 2004 and unveiled
by motorcycle World Champion Geoff
Duke and Past Master Roger Cullimore
at the 10th anniversary of the National
Courier Awards in 2005. A series one
model, round master cylinder, rubber covers
on the comstar wheels. IOC chairman riding
the bike, Carl Lomas. comments, ‘it feels
very heavy compared to a modern bike, the
sand here in Guildhall yard is really scary
on two wheels I am going very soft on the
brakes.’
The bike was first brand marked by past
master, Neil Coles. Fiona Woolf stamped
a W last year. IOC fellows were doing the
maths, 126 thousand miles on the clock, the
bike may have done, thirty plus drops a day
in the central postcodes, that’s near half a
million deliveries in the City of London.
The Institute of Couriers IOC is proud to
enter an iconic seventies working courier
bike into the ancient licence ceremony of
Cart Marking on July 15th 2015.
LMU Professor Tracey Worth was in the 2015
D2N2 LEP truck yard with the Transport
Minister Claire Perry and our Master
Carman, Lt Colonel Paul Holder to check
the bike over ready for Cart Marking.

...And What Happened
On The Home Front?
Written By Liveryman CHRIS SALAMAN Honorary Archivist
Any thought of invasion in the early months of WW1
was least at the forefront of anyone’s thoughts.
But as time progressed to a general stalemate
in Flanders, and the first of the Zeppelin attacks
took place back here, it was soon realised that
some sort of home defence would be needed.
Hence the formation of the City of London
National Guard Volunteers (the fore-runner of
the Home Guard in WWll) who within months
of joining were on exercises and parades
within the Greater London area.
This rather splendid picture shows driver
John Gordon Woodhouse driving one of
his employer’s Albion 3 ton Subsidy Type
lorries, and photographed in Southampton
Road, Kentish Town, just a short distance from
W.A.Gilbeys gin storage premises in Chalk
Farm Goods Yard. They had just returned
from an official review by the Commander
in Chief, Field Marshal Viscount French in
Hyde Park and were part of the Mechanical
Transport Column under Commandant Major
E.S.Shrapnell-Smith and Adjutant Captain
F.G.Bristow with forty requisitioned 3 ton
lorries, both officers of whom were fellow
Carmen Livery members.

Motor Ambulances
Many different types and makes of motor ambulance were
seen during WWl, and this was exacerbated by the fact that
many were built on large car chassis of which there were
numerous examples.
Amongst the rarities was the French Gregoire
chassis built by Gregoire Automobile of
Poissy, Paris and bodied by Carrosserie
Alin & Liautard specialists in expensive and
elaborate body styles. As the cost was raised
by public subscription, it was considered
more of a good ‘PR’ job to present
something rather special! In this instance
the finished article is more representative
of a combination of three horse drawn
carriages! Note the beautifully crafted roof
box spanning the three individual saloons.
Stretchers were loaded via a large rear single
door. Ironically this particular example was
exported to the White Russian Army prior to
their fall in 1917. Russia received deliveries
from most of the Allied countries as their own
motor industry was virtually non-existent.

One Of The Many
Smaller Manufacturers:
Written By Liveryman CHRIS SALAMAN Honorary Archivist
Newly delivered from Belsize Motors of Manchester to the War
Department Army Service Corps and minus its three standard
two gallon petrol cans, this wagon is now on its way to the Front!
Timber Impregnation by CCB & E406 Processes | Sawmillers - Stress Grading - Specialist Machinists
Clearly showing the fixed side to the driver’s
cab so the gear controls that were positioned
to the right of the driver’s legs weren’t
damaged when entering and leaving, access
only being from the nearside of the cab.
This is an early delivery to the military with
rounded hooped tilt frame from one of the
smaller manufacturers when every available
motor lorry was needed to help supply the
troops’ needs. All ASC wagons were two man
crewed and both are wearing standard issue
goggles to suppress rain and dust....there
were no windscreens! All vehicle suppliers
had to build strictly to uniform ‘Subsidy’
design patterns.
The Angels of Pervyse
If ever there was a story of heroism and
devotion to duty, then it must surely be the
story of Miss Mairi Chisholm and Mrs Elsie
Knocker, the latter of the two later to become
the Baroness de T’Serclaes.
They had both had previous backgrounds
working with motor vehicles, an unusual
pastime for ladies prior to the War, and even
including riding motor cycles! Their knowledge
proved invaluable on the outbreak of War
in 1914, both having also attained nursing
experience. But on offering their services to the
King and Country on the outbreak of hostilities,
they were both abruptly turned down on the
fact that they were female!

This response was like a red rag to a bull,
the result that with immediate determination
they would get to the Front under their own
power and 'do their bit' in one way or another.
Both women had had previous connections
to the charity movements and soon were
arranging funds to be raised to buy their own
ambulance and equipment. Their knowledge
of fund raising and public awareness proved
invaluable in this exercise.

Within no time at all,
they had purchased a
Wolseley ambulance,
loaded with first aid
supplies and headed
for the Belgian Front.
There they set up a
dressing station in a
cellar of a shelled
house in Pervyse and
saved many lives with
initial first aid and then
onward transfer in the ambulance back to the
base hospital. Within three years they had
moved over 2000 injured soldiers to safety,
and were consequently eventually rewarded
with Belgian medals for their services.
