Hello all
I have been researching a number of Divisional Cyclist Companies in WW1 especially the 29th in Gallipoli. They later became part of VIII Corps cyclist battalion which was converted to a Lewis Gun battalion in 1918. I have searched in vain for a photograph of bicycles with Lewis guns mounted,either on the handlebars, or on the frame. I assume the mountings were similar to those approved for the Hotchkiss in 1917 but I can find no photographic evidence. Can anyone help with this?
Regards
Clive
