Actually, the records were complete, but back around 1965 someone got in there and stole all of them. A small number have been recovered, but those were for the Serbian front.

And unfortunately, none of the historians were interested enough to make any copies.

While I do not enjoy disputing with my good friend Richard, I simply MUST set the record straight: the front fender of Voss' cycle was dark green. The little old mechanic who worked on it wrote an article for Road & Track in the 1960s.

By the way, who was the highest scorer ("wink, wink, nudge, nudge) on the Western Front?

I would have thought a midget like Voss would have been better fitted to a Wellbike.

Me!! I started the largest thread ever (I think) on this forum. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. (Where's Taffy Jones when you need him!!)

VBR, for the next to last time,
