Canadian Cyclists have a rest

The Canadian Corps returned to Arras on August 26 to begin the push for Cambrai. “The Cyclists, on wheels again, did considerable reconnaissance work and assisted the infantry in the fighting for such places as Villers-les-Cagnicourt where 22 of our officers and other ranks became casualties in a very brief engagement, seven being killed outright.” Source: Ellis, W.D., and J.
