I have mentioned in another post that my grandfather was in the Dutch Army Bicycle Corp during WWII. Today I finally dug out the photos that my grandmother left me some years ago and found the photos he had kept of those days.
Weren’t they so handsome?! My grandfather is the one standing with his arms stretched out and no hat!

Wow! That was just fascinating. I had no idea there were bicycle units. A few years ago our city made a big deal about policy bicycle units and anytime I’m downtown, I’m always surprised at how quiet they are. I’ll look up and one is there. Great Photos and information. Thanks.
