#CartMarking2015

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

panel, four as chair, Assistant Stephen Britt will hand over today, to Assistant Iain Golder. I would like to go on record with our unreserved thanks to Stephen.

Finally, I hope you enjoy your day in Guildhall, and thank you for supporting Cart Marking 2015.

A word fromTHE MASTER

TRADITIONS, SERVICE AND THE FUTURE

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ann is a widow with two sons and three grandchildren.

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.

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.

Key to the Econic’s appeal is its innovative low-entry, 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.

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-to-ceiling 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 pre-wiring. 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 full-width, 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 Mercedes-Benz 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

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)!

One of the many requirements that a good fighting force needs to keep up constant engagement is of course a good ‘back-up’ plan.

Early Tank Transportation

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!

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.

A DAY IN THE L IFE OF

The MasterThe 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.

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.

1953 Leyland Comet 90 supplied new to Armstrong Cork that made a regular three times a week 7 ton delivery from Middlesborough to London. Now fitted with livestock bodywork and part of the Barton vintage collection from Banbury, Oxon. It may suprise one to know that behind that somewhat rugged bodywork there lies a whole mobile home which is revealed when the loading ramp is lowered.

Harry Clark Jnr. with his spendidly turned out Fordson Thames ET6 three tonner, a 1954 model which had the option of power from either a V8 or Economy Four engine. This design was introduced to supercede the wartime 7V range, and proved very popular here and abroad.

3 ton ‘M’type Bedford of 1953 vintage powered by 28.h.p. engine and entered by Carman Nobby Clark of Vauxhall, S.E.11. Currently the latter still holds the record for working the oldest licenced lorry within the London area, his Leyland lorry seen at past Cart Marking ceremonies. Nobby is often joined by ‘Pearly King and Queen’, Harry Mayhead and Doreen Golding.

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.

This beautifully restored Fiat type18P lorry was part of the late Michael Banfield’s collection. It was originally discovered near Tonbridge in Kent in 1962 in a very rough condition. This year is its 100th.anniversary and represents the very best of Italian motor production of that period. The registration number is genuine to 1915 but not necessarily allocated to this particular chassis.

The Bedford ‘OYD’ 3 ton army truck became synonymous with the Armed Forces during the last War, playing its part in virtually every theatre and corner of the conflict. Its reliable General Motors 28h.p. 6 cylinder petrol engine went on to power many post war Bedford models. This example was supplied to the Royal Navy and saw active service north of the border from 1940 onwards working on inter-port duties.

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.

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.

The RAF Museum at Hendon are proud owners of this 1917 Crossley 20/25 ‘Royal Flying Corps Tender’ which is lovingly looked after by the Friends of the Museum. Fitted with twin rear wheels for extra traction, these tenders carried their spare wheels in pairs and as such it was not unusual to see a twin set fitted to a front wheel after a roadside puncture!

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.

One of the largest vehicles from WW11 era was the heavy American Diamond T tank recovery tractor, capable of towing a Rogers 60ton drawbar trailer. Powered by a Hercules petrol engine initially, later models had a diesel variant. All were equipped with winches and all wheel drive, and as a result many saw service for many years after in civilian use as heavy haulage tractors. This particular example is part of the RLC historic fleet.

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.

Fodens were the world’s leading manufacturer of steam wagons in the early part of the last century and held this position for some thirty odd years. This wagon is unique in the fact that the majority produced were lorries of one sort or another.....but here is an unusual 1923 variation in the form of a bus for carrying passengers that would have come under stringent public service vehicle operating requirements. This particular 3 speed Puffing Billy model was delivered to a Brighton brewery in 1923 and converted to bus configeration in the early fifties.

AEC ‘Mammoth Major’ fuel tanker in the more unusual configuration of being a six wheeler with a capacity of approximately 2,600 gallons in the livery of Esso Petroleum. Powered by a 9.6 litre diesel engine of AEC design. Fitted with a ‘power take-off’ to facilitate pumping when off-loading, more often than not, natural gravity sufficed! This fuel tanker was delivered to Esso Petroleum Ltd in 1952. Serving for 63 years, latterly as a foam tender at Fawley Refinery, it has been recently donated by Esso to The Waterside Historic Vehicle Club.

Most 19th.century provincial railway stations provided a means of travelling from the travellers point of disembarkation from train to their final destination in a station omnibus, usually seating six to eight passengers. This was particularly prevalent where railway stations were not sited near to town centres. In later years, the railway operators provided their own form of transport, depending on demand. The Omnibus today is pulled by Basil & Arnie, 2 Dutch Warmbloods.

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 attachment to a semi-trailer. In both cases the Ford six cylinder 6D diesel was utilised for power. The ‘Trader’ stayed in production until the mid 1960’s when it was superceded by the ‘D’ series.

Another Fordson Thames, the range were built to carry up to 5 tons, with the Briggs standard designed cab, this example powered by the Ford 4D diesel and dating from 1960 just before the new models were introduced. The four cylinder 4D diesel proved to be the most popular diesel that Ford’s ever produced with many thousands powering all sorts of other machinery ranging from tractors to generators. Another example of the Fordson Thames ET6, this 1960 model is one of the last production.

Scania P370 8 x 4 Euro 6 Aggregate tipper wagon with spread front axles to allow full use of legal requirements governing gross vehicle weights. It also provides additional stability when raising the body to tip the load.. Many of the Raymond Brown fleet have unique cab liveries designed by children from local schools. Promoting good community relations, this particular vehicle’s cab livery was designed by pupils from Wareham St Mary Primary School in Dorset, which is close to one of their sand quarries.

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.

Founded by the Worshipful Company of Carmen in 2001, the award recognises the year’s most outstanding student officer among those

attending the three annual courses at the Defence Movements School. The award comprises the cup, a silver gilt engraved medal to be retained, and

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.

Founded by the Worshipful Company of Carmen in 2004, this award identifies the most successful Royal Air Force trainee among those attending

the six 21-week Basic Movements Training Courses at the Defence Movements School. The award comprises a silver gilt engraved medal to be

retained, and citation. The award for 2015 award is presented to:

Rebecca was a direct entrant who completed basic movements training in August 2014 as the best overall student. She performed strongly throughout

the course, with determination and maturity, such that she received the Movement Control Association Award against stiff competition. At the

start she was appointed duty senior student and proved an invaluable link between instructors and students, mentoring and guiding younger course

members. She demonstrated throughout that she has the ability and attitude of an undoubted future achiever.

Emma is recognised for the outstanding way in which she has started her Army career. Within 6 Regiment, she deployed on Bavarian Charger as

part of the national support element of an armoured battle group exercise, contributing significantly to a flagship Army exercise. She then deployed with 1 Logistics Support Regiment within the Operation Herrick Theatre

Logistic Group, fulfilling a Lance Corporal’s role, as accounts 2 i/c in a fuel detachment, briefing regimental ops and technical officers regularly with

statistics and requirements, also helping others and reducing stock levels. A 2013 novice member of the Regiment’s female Nordic ski team, she became the strongest performer, in 2014 represented 6 Regiment and the Corps; and

she is now part of the Great Britain Nordic Skiing Development Squad.

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.

Today’s equivalent, the larger mobile kitchens (now commonly called “flying kitchens” because of the greater speed with which they can be deployed) can service entire battalions of troops.

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.

Disruptive forces are rapidly reshaping our world

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’.

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.

The 1978 Honda CX 500 V twin courier bike is dressed for work, colours of the seventies, an orange Mercury top box with GLH logos of Carman Rob Scott, nearside pannier, Delta, Pony Express on the offside with SD Security despatch colours on the rear. Many of those brands today stand under the name of CitySprint, the UK’s largest same day courier company.

Institute of Couriers A SECTOR PROUD TO BE AT CART MARKING

Around the table - Supporting the next generation of couriers, A huge employer turnout. Trailblazer chairman Justin Moore with IOC fellows and education put their support papers on the table for the new apprenticeship trailblazer standards with BIS for June 2015. The first ever undergraduate

degree in courier logistics is in preparation, hosted by London Metrpolitan University.Carman and Dean, Dr Stephen Perkins:

‘Set to start this September, this is an exciting step for the next generation of transport in the City of London.’

The IOC is the stake holder group for policy; key issues include, safety, congestion, parking and clean air solutions for transport in the City. President, Viscount Lord Falkland is supported by vice presidents, former transport ministers Steve Norris and David Jamieson, Chairman is a Carman, Carl Lomas MBE and the IOC secretariat is Professor Tracey Worth.

IOC hosts the National Courier Awards 2015 on 27th October this year at the IOD, Pall Mall. During 2015 IOC are working on priority plans for transport with the Govt LEPs including D2N2 LLEP, Yorkshire & Black Country LEP. IOC - a stakeholder in transport policy, www.instituteofcouriers.com

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.

Retail shift from High Street to home delivery, the final mile, the sector has never faced so many challenges and opportunities.

...And What Happened On The Home Front?

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.

Any thought of invasion in the early months of WW1 was least at the forefront of anyone’s thoughts.

Motor Ambulances

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 consideredmore 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.

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.

One Of The Many Smaller Manufacturers:

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.

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!

The Angels of Pervyse

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.

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.

WHY BE A

Carman?

So why be a Carman? Because you enjoy good fellowship, you welcome the opportunity to meet others, you support the City, its history and traditions and you appreciate the valuable work of the Carmen’s Charity - The Carmen Benevolent Trust.

How do you become a Carman? A prospective Liveryman must be proposed and seconded by existing Carmen. This proposal is then subjected to a selection process with final approval by the Court of Assistants.

A successful applicant will then be entitled and required to become a Freeman of the City of London, obtaining his or her Freedom from the Lord Chamberlain at the Guildhall.

This process normally takes a few months to complete, after which you will be Clothed and Bound at a suitable Court Meeting and become a Liveryman of The Company of Carmen.

The Carmen Company is a Guild of the City of London. As a Livery Company (a Guild entitled to ‘clothe’ its members with its ‘livery’ or uniform), it supports the civic traditions of the City and reflects the transport industry in all its modes, but particularly surface transport, road and rail, goods and passenger. It is a vigorous and flourishing Livery Company with active memberships of Liverymen, Freemen and Apprenticeships approaching 700 - many with transport connections.

If you are interested in becoming a Carman please contact:
