Foreword

Foreword.

We endeavour to illustrate to our readers the actual part taken in the Great War, 1914-18, by a small Unit called the New Zealand Cyclist Corps. This Unit comprised a very small part of the N.Z.E.F., and was incorporated in the XXII. Corps Mounted Troops. Its work with this high formation separated us from the N Z. Division (whose glorious exploits are touched upon by other writers) and naturally very little was heard in our Homeland about our doings. Casualty lists appearing in our papers here told the public that "Somewhere in France" this small Unit was kept actively employed and was striving to uphold the traditions of the British race and do its bit in the Great War.
