E C Cramp: photograph album

This photo of a packhorse was taken on the island of Imbros where the Ark Royal was stationed for part of the campaign. The caption “Carter-Patterson” suggests that Edgar had something of a sense of humour.

Founded in 1860, by the time of the First World War Carter Patterson was one of Britain’s largest road haulage companies, operating a fleet of trucks that served destinations across London and the home counties.
