David Black
British Army Army Cyclist Corps
from:Accrington Lancs
Going through documents etc from my wife's late grandfather I have come across some photos of past relatives. Two are of a David King of Brinscall Lancashire Station Road Lancs who was in the Cyclist Corps but I can find no trace of him online.
Editor's Note: For the Cyclist Corps, records are difficult. Started out pre-war with 4 Cycling Battalions then formed Cyclist Companies in most infantry regiments, then grouped into larger battalions all of whom became members of the Cycling Corps but still served in their various units. Regrettably no trace in Ancestry search. Would need to know originating regiment from which became a Cyclist. An educated guess might be one of the originating units - Northern Cyclist Battalion as he was from Accrington, but by no means certain.
