Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cyclist scouts travelling along an extremely muddy road. None of them are actually riding their bicycles, they walk alongside them. All the men are wearing steel helmets and are fully armed and equipped. The countryside they are travelling through has been ravaged by warfare.

Whilst many images were deliberately taken as propaganda, some, like this, document the experiences of war.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. Cyclist scouts going forward to watch the movements of the enemy.']
