A column of taxis carries soldiers

Tall, boxy motor cabs of the pre-war type, soldiers in képis crowding their seats, follow one another along a wide road, a policeman stepping aside in the middle; men and women watch from the pavement and a few raise their arms. According to the source the 'taxicab army' that defended Paris. On 7 and 8 September 1914 General Gallieni sent several thousand soldiers from Paris to the Marne in some 600 requisitioned taxis.
