Across France in War Time By W. Fitzwater Wray
Across France in War Time By W. Fitzwater Wray Kindle Edition Across France in War Time 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his unique tour de France, on a bicycle from Le Havre to Picardie and back, armed only with a Union Jack and an outdated permission slip. His object in writing was not to capture war in France, but France in war. The journey is full of adventure and fascinating first hand encounters with soldiers and civilians. Across France in War Time is a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone interested in cycling or World War One. With a sincerity so strong as to become almost violent. The Bicycle William Fitzwater Wray (1870 1938) was one of the most widely read cycling journalists of his day. By the time he moved to The Daily News, he had begun to write under the pen name “Kuklos”, which is Greek for “wheel”. Kuklos knew the British Isles like a book and the Continent almost as well. After his marriage he was accompanied everywhere by Klossie, his charming and talented wife, and together they wandered over many parts of Europe as well as touring extensively in Scotland and Ireland. These tours produced a magnificent collection of photographs which formed material for the lantern lectures that Kuklos delivered to enthusiastic audiences all over the country and were also the basis of such literary works as A Vagabonds Notebook , Across France in War time and The Visitors Book.
