NEW ZEALAND CYCLIST CORPS IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918

This small Corps of 800 saw service in many of the fiercest battles of the Great War - including Messines, Passchendaele and Mt. Kemmel. A complete history. An interesting and complete account of this small Corps which never had more than eight hundred officers and men on its strength. Almost the entire narrative is devoted to their services in Egypt and on the Western Front. Detached from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, the Corps was assigned to XXII Corps as Mounted Troops. In the event, they saw much hard service at Messines, Gravenstafel, Passchendaele, Kemmel etc in the infantry roll and as cable layers. The appendices are particularly helpful to genealogists and to medal collectors. Reprint of the original edition.
