The Khaki Chums portrayal of the Army Cyclist Corps of the First World War. We procured a batch of identical Indian made 'Hero' roadsters, (Raleighs, c1995) and proceeded to strip them all down then to rebuild them as close as possible to the MkIV Army Cycle. This was quite a task! But between us we managed to sand them down and repaint paint them. Engineers among us made faithful copies of the Number 10 Lucas front carriers, rifle brackets, rear carriers. Brooks supplied the saddles. Apart from the dual rod brakes, (not the single scissor) rear freewheel instead of the coaster brake, and 'HERO' cranks, they were a very good impression, especially en masse. (The problems of finding the original parts in sufficent numbers for all bikes was too great, and rather than having a hotch potch of original parts we made concessions for uniformity.)

Taken from my Basic Training / MP School book: Morrison (left) and me (right) walking after our time in the gas chamber. I'm smiling because I got to come out of the chamber first - my gas mask wouldn't seal so I was getting a good whiff of CS gas before everyone else. By the time Morrison came out, I had gotten it out of my system.

The Terracotta Army or the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses" is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE, were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current (2007) estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits nearby Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. Other terracotta non-military figures were also found in other pits and they include officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians.
