Cyclists on a Road, Humber Valley

A recurring training exercise for soldiers at Camp Exhibition was the “Battle of the Humber.” For one such Battle in 1915, “the enemy was supposed to be retreating from [an offensive force] composed of the 10th Battalion, two batteries of artillery and the Divisional Cyclist Corps. The scene of the engagement covered a space of some three square miles, three-quarters of a mile on each side of the Old Mill.” (The Globe, 25 March 1015) Source: Unknown. “Realistic Battle along Humber River.” The Globe, March 25,
