Across France in War Time
Between 1914 and 1915, the acclaimed cycling journalist, William Fitzwater Wray, transported readers of The Daily News to the countryside of war-torn France. The series of periodicals, collected later to form this book, document his unique tour de France, on a bicycle from Le Havre to Picardie and back, armed only with a Union Jack and an outdated permission slip. Across France in War Time is a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone interested in cycling or World War One.
