The Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalions.            

Welcome to the Home Page of the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Battalions.

This site that has been set up to remember the men who passed through the ranks of 

'The Gaspipe Cavalry',  to ensure they are not forgotten by future generations...    

''"A true Cavalry unit in every sense of the word''"

Please contact the Webmaster on huntscycles@btinternet.com

 

This site is now being extended to cover all men and women that served in the Armed services and that live in Ramsey, Huntingdonshire or the surrounding villages bearing that name.  The project is still being researched and any help anyone can provide, in order that these men and women can be remembered, would be greatly appreciated.
