The soldiers are of the Royal West Kent Yeomanry. Identifiable by Bandolier,s and Spurs.
At a guess,assuming photo taken 1916 or later, I would say the bus would have been one the East Kent Road Car Company Limited  Vehicles . The company was formed from smaller Co,s around Kent in 1916.

Does anyone have any information, or links to who would be operating the motorbuses in the great war?


This photo has come up on a website, which I link to.  The bus survives, but I don't know which company owned it, and who operated in Ashford at the time.  I only copy the link as I am aware that copyright will exist with the holder of the the website I have linked to.


Many thanks
