Many motorcyclists have been asked to report to the port of Embarkation. One rider arrived in Southampton (now known as Port No1) to find the machinery of war being prepared for loading. The railways too, had been taken over and a pre-planned timetable meant that men horses, guns and stores could arrive at a port ant be quickly loaded.
Contemporary films show horses being reluctantly loaded onto wagons. It took up to 6 men to ease those horses onto the train whilst behind heavy guns were being craned onto the train.
