25th County of London Cycle Battalion


Dedicated to the 1/25th London Cyclists, a much forgotten regiment. This regiment's WW1 service was undertaken in India and the North West Frontier. In 1917 they participated in the Waziristan Campaign.  In 1919 they helped quell the Amritsar uprising, and participated in the 3rd Afghan War. In 1917, 200 of the 1/25th left India and fought in Mesopotamia. 
All without their beloved bicycles.


"Banished to India"
  

Also included are the  2/25th  &  3/25th  London Regts.
