1/25th County of London Cyclists
Speaker: Dr Adam Prime
The 25th London Cyclists, a largely forgotten regiment. The 1/25th battalion's WW1 service was undertaken in the UK, India and the North West Frontier.
They were on coastal defence duties in Suffolk for 2 years and witnessed two Zeppelin raids on Lowestoft. Moving to India in February 1916 they participated in the Waziristan Campaign of 1917. In 1919 they helped quell the Amritsar uprising, and participated in the 3rd Afghan War.
Most of the Battalion did not return to the UK until Dec 1919. All without their beloved bicycles.
You don't have to be a Member of The Western Front Association to attend our meetings as all are equally welcome. Do come along and enjoy a friendly atmosphere and the good company of fellow enthusiasts.
