R. S. Darroch is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the contributions and achievements of the London and North-Western Railway Company during the Great War, shedding light on its crucial role in supporting the war effort. Through this narrative, Darroch aims to highlight the significant yet often overlooked impact of railway operations on military logistics during a time of conflict. The opening of "Deeds of a Great Railway" introduces readers to the context of Britain's unpreparedness for World War I, commencing on August 5, 1914. It recounts the initial shock of the nation as it faced the looming German threat and reflects on the early missteps made by the government and military leaders. Darroch provides a specific focus on the London and North-Western Railway's response to the demands of war, detailing how its workforce adapted to the rapid mobilization of troops and supplies through efficient rail transportation. Prominent figures in the railway industry, including the Chief Mechanical Engineer C. J. Bowen-Cooke, are acknowledged for their pivotal roles in transforming railway operations into a vital support system for the military.
