This is a silver gelatin photograph that is unmounted and is 6¾ x 5 inches (170x130mm).
It shows a long line of uniformed men on motorcycles with sidecars parked along a kerb. The men wear heavy coats, peaked caps, and goggles resting on their caps. The sidecars are box-shaped and feature a logo reading 'Road Service' with an 'AA' emblem in the centre.
The reverse has a pasted typed caption in French dated '13/1/38', identifying the subjects as patrollers of the Automobile Association in England. There is a blue ink stamp reading '13 Jan. 1938'. Repeating stamps read 'Photo Wide World Service Phot The New York Times'. A handwritten pencil note says 'Angleterre police motocyclistes'.
