owen4256 Posted 1 June , 2016 Share Posted 1 June , 2016 I understand that in total the initial establishment of the Corps Cyclist Battalions formed in May 1916 was 15 Officers and 307 men. I'd be most grateful if someone could point me to a more detailed breakdown of this establishment, in particular the Company and Battalion Headquarters and the number of artificers per battalion.

Ron Clifton Posted 1 June , 2016 Share Posted 1 June , 2016 No, but I know an archive that does! File WO24/908 at Kew contains amendments 351 to 400 to War Establishments. Amendment 351 contains a whole batch of changes, of which 351/75 gives the full breakdown of a cyclist battalion. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
