The untold story of how Canadian Cyclists came into their own during the Hundred Days campaign of the Great War.

But during the Hundred Days campaign at the end of the Great War, Canadas cycling troops finally came into their own. At Amiens, Cambrai, and especially the Pursuit from the Sense, the Cyclists made pioneering contributions to the development of the Canadian Corpss combined arms strategy and mobile warfare doctrine, all the while exhibiting the consummate professionalism the Corps became renowned for.
