I'm a bit worried about this book. If the 2nd figure fom the left is a Belgian cyclist the uniform is quite wrong.

I think he must be French, Carl. I gather that Belgium, Portugal, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Japan, and even Italy only have sub-sections, compared to full treatments of GB, France, Russia, Germany, and USA.

Here in the States, the Amazon.com estimated time of delivery is August 2011 on this one (at least that is what my order from last December says!).

yes, that's correct. There's a Military Uniforms of the 19th Century copy too.
I am afraid the subject is too broad to cover it all, I do prefer books going in on one item. At the other hand, being an afficionado you just want to have every book, sometimes for just a few interesting pictures...

cheers, Kieffer

Your man with the bike on his back looks like a French Chasseur a Pied (I suppose that should be "a velo"). The book called "Nos Poilus de 14-18" has a photo in it that looks a lot like the illustration, although it's hard to be absolutely certain from the thumbnail above.
