Using original War Office documents contemporary reports and photographs the Author guides the reader though the evolution of the Despatch Rider as a vital cog in the military wheel.
Read how a pioneer cyclist developed the concept of the Despatch Rider and took on a cautious War Office immersed in the transition from horse-power to mechanised transport.
