London 25th Regt

In relation to the 1-25th London Cycle Regiment the status of this soldier is uncertain. He is included on this website's page 'Soldiers linked to the London Cyclists', as he appears in the publication 'Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19'. He is listed in that publication under the heading "25th (County of London) Battalion (Cyclists)". However there is no indication whether he ever served with the 25th cyclists in India. His entry in that publication reads :-

Metayer, Frederick, born Euston, resident Mornington Place, enlisted London, 741487, killed in action, France & Flanders, 22 Sep 1917.
