EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in September 1937, showcases a Dutch army drummer of the Bicycle-Mounted Regiment, stationed at Hertogenbosch. The image, which is part of the impressive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of the Dutch military during the interwar period. The Bicycle-Mounted Regiment, also known as the "IJ en Lichting" (ILN), was a distinctive unit in the Dutch military, known for its ability to quickly mobilize and move across long distances using bicycles. The regiment was formed in 1919 and was disbanded in 1950, making this photograph an important historical document. In the image, the drummer is seen proudly holding his drum and wearing his military uniform, complete with a shako hat and a sash bearing the regimental colors. The bicycle, with its military insignia, is parked beside him, ready to be mounted. The setting, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, adds to the serene and picturesque quality of the photograph. The Bicycle-Mounted Regiment was an integral part of the Dutch military during the interwar period, and this photograph offers a fascinating insight into the daily life of its members. The image not only showcases the military prowess of the Dutch army but also highlights the unique character and ingenuity of the Bicycle-Mounted Regiment. This photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, Dutch culture, or the history of bicycles.
