History: During the First World War, bicycle infantry played an important role in reconnaissance, communication, and rapid deployment. The British Army Cyclist Corps relied on lightweight, efficient machines to move silently across the battlefield, often under dangerous conditions. Cyclists were used to deliver orders, conduct patrols, and carry light equipment between units. Securing their rifles to the bicycle was a vital task, ensuring mobility while maintaining readiness. This figure represents the quiet professionalism and adaptability of those who served in these mobile units throughout the war.
