| 4 |  | In the Volunteer Cycling Corps | |
| 5 |  | The Military Cycling Display: ready for volley firing The unit took place in the Royal Tournament in both years my great grandfather was with them; in this picture he is 3rd from the left in the front row. I don't know if this was the Royal Tournament Display or if they also displayed elsewhere. | |
| 6 |  | Royal Tournament Medal My great grandfather's medal and bar for taking part in the Royal Military Tournament in 1898 and again in 1899, when he was part of the Middlesex Corps of Volunteer Cyclists. | |
| 7 |  | The Royal Military Tournament On the 50th Anniversary of first taking part in the Tournament, JBH went to watch the Royal Tournament. | |
| 8 |  | Marksman Spoon - 1899 I don't know the significance of this spoon - was it an award for being the best? Or given to all on reaching a certain standard? The top shows it was connected with the Volunteer Cyclists. | |
| 9 |  | The top of the Marksman Spoon This shows it is connected with the 26th Middlesex "VRC" (Volunteer Rifle Cyclists?) | |
| 10 |  | On the back of the military display photo ... Ten small photos have been stuck around a printed photo (from a newspaper I think). Most if not all of the small photos appear to have been taken when at camp. The 10 small photos and then the newspaper photo follow (assuming you are viewing this in the "JBH in the Middlesex Cyclist Volunteers" album) | |

| 15 |  | Time to relax I think my great grandfather may be the 2nd from left (else he isn't in this photo) | |
| 16 |  | Still relaxing Bert, my great grandfather, is the chap on the right. | |
| 17 |  | ... and again The heather appears a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy a drink in! | |
| 18 |  | A direction you can't cycle! Bert is the one at the top | |
| 19 |  | A cyclist with his bike I don't know who this is. I guess he was a close friend of my great grandfather's - or maybe a relative. | |
| 20 |  | The same cyclist The last of the small photos | |
| 21 |  | "Carrying the C.I.V. invalid ashore at Southampton" I don't know why this picture is here. I believe CIV must stand for the City Imperial Volunteers, about which more can be read in the Wikipedia article. Raised in January 1900 to fight in the South African War, it was a a composite battalion recruited from the London units. Presumably this invalid is someone who had previously served in the Cyclist unit with my great grandfather.… | |
| 22 |  | Unknown cyclist In the Cyclist Volunteers - the same person of whom there are a couple of small photos on the back of the display photo. |
