Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Oswald Harcourt-Davis joined the Corps of Royal Engineers in 1916
to become a despatch rider. He was allocated a Triumph motorcycle
at Abbeville France on 18th July 1916 and was attached to the
ANZACs for the duration of the war which saw him motorcycling
around the Somme and Ypres Salient areas. He won his military medal
at Messines.
This work explores the value of the motorcycle to communications,
and how the despatch rider helped prevent German victory.
Royal Air Force Coastal Command was the organisation charged with
keeping the sea lanes clear around the coasts of Britain for the
best part of half a century, from immediately after the First World
War until the 1960s. In the decades after the Second World War,
John Campbell served as a Coastal Command navigator and crew
captain on Shackleton aircraft in the Maritime Patrol role. Having
studied in great detail the history and development of Coastal
Command, he has researched and written this thorough account of its
activities throughout its years of operation.

I have found that there are many people who do not have any
knowledge of the Great War. But we should remember it, as nearly a
million people died. Their names are written on memorials all over
England, as well as France and Belgium. Do not forget them and the
sacrifice they made.
