"The Motor-Bus in War" by A.M. Beatson is a recount of one man's time as an A.S.C. officer serving on the front lines during World War I, documenting the crucial motor transportation and supply lines far from the trenches. Opening with reflections on the unexpected roles soldiers find themselves in, it highlights the frequently overlooked but invaluable men managing supply columns and other essential support systems, and we see the author's enlistment and introduction to the mechanical transport units supplying vital resources. It shares the adaptation of officers and enlisted men to military life as they become the cogs that keep the fighting forces equipped.
