EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a determined despatch rider during the First World War, skillfully maneuvering his Douglas 349cc motorcycle along a winding road lined with trees. Dressed in his military uniform, complete with peaked cap and goggles, the man's focused expression and clenched jaw convey the intense concentration required for his dangerous mission. The despatch riders played a crucial role in the war effort, delivering vital messages and documents between military commanders and frontline troops. The Douglas motorcycle, with its large front wheel and smaller rear wheel, was a popular choice for despatch riders due to its reliability and maneuverability on rough terrain. The road behind the rider is barely visible, suggesting the remote and rugged locations where these brave men operated. The photograph, taken circa 1916, is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the personnel who served on the frontlines during the Great War.
