Keith Roberts Alan Wakefield Nick Ilić Taff …a lot of ground, from the background to army cycling itself to Army Cyclist Corps innovation during the Salonika Campaign, with the story of Fred Braysher’s service with the 28th Divisional Cyclist Company woven through it 9/

That’s it - my last day in the Army after 34 years of service (and 43 in uniform - from Cadet to Colonel). Thank you to everyone who made it such an amazing experience. So many memories and people to thank - but above all my wife and family. It’s been an honour and privilege.

Delighted to have supported with Glenn Stennes UK in Serbia and MO и ВС in the annual Battlefield Study of the Salonika Front 1915-18. Lessons from the past, if forgotten, can easily be repeated by those who don’t know their history. They are not forgotten. Salonika Campaign Society
