EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the officers of the 1st London Divisional Cyclists Company during World War I, standing proudly in their uniforms. The image, dated 1916, features six officers arranged in two rows. In the back row, from left to right, are 2nd Lieutenants R. H. White, R. A. Shuffrey, W. V. Alloway, and R. A. Raleigh. The presence of Raleigh among the names raises an intriguing question: was he related to the renowned Raleigh Company from Nottingham, or was it just a coincidence? Moving to the front row, we find 2nd Lieutenants F. C. Shackell, F. B. Ransford, Captain Cecil King, Captain J. D. Baskin (R.A.M.C.), and 2nd Lieutenant E. W. French. These brave men, hailing from London, served in the cyclist battalion, which played a crucial role in the war effort by providing rapid communication and reconnaissance. Their uniforms, complete with forage caps and capes, reflect the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The 1st London Divisional Cyclists Company was an essential component of the British military during WWI, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the faces of the officers who led these dedicated men. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals and the crucial role they played in the larger historical context of the war.
