Perhaps the most far-reaching of the many changes wrought on the
military by the First World War was the mechanisation of the armed
services. After many centuries of use by the Army for patrols and
communications, the trusty horse was finally supplanted by the
newfangled motorcycle. This process of mechanisation gathered pace
during the interwar years and in particular for the military
motorcycle between 1925 and 1939. By the outbreak of the Second
World War the motorcycle had become an important part of the
military inventory and was deemed 'suitable for WD (War Department)
requirements'. When it was first published in 1995, this fully
illustrated book was unique in looking at all military motorcycles
of British origin known to have been tested mainly by the
Mechanical Warfare Experimental Establishment (later called the
Mechanisation Experimental Establishment). This edition is fully
revised and updated and includes three new chapters, covering
standard parts, bike markings and paint schemes.
