Radio shack with bicycle powered generator (1915-1918)
Unused.
On scene a group of 10 men in a communications post somewhere behind the lines. On the far left is a petrol powered generator and a few soldiers are manning the radio transmitter. Most interesting however, is that two guys are on a tandem bicycle to generate power for their electronics. I've never seen a picture of one being used by the Germans in WWI yet. Quite and interesting find. The cyclists are wearing a M1915 Bluse, giving some indication of the period.
