| Summary | "The Dispatch-Riders: The Adventures of Two British Motor-cyclists in the Great War" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story follows two young British motorcyclists, Kenneth Everest and Rollo Barrington, who embark on a journey through France and Belgium just as the war is escalating. Their journey takes a thrilling turn as they become involved in military actions, demonstrating bravery and resourcefulness amidst the chaos of war. At the start of the narrative, Kenneth and Rollo are depicted as adventurous schoolboys eager to explore Europe on their motorbikes. They begin their journey in the picturesque Belgian town of Dinant, where they encounter news of the mobilization of the Belgian army and the impending war. As they decide to visit Kenneth's sister in Liège, they quickly realize the gravity of the situation when they engage in conversations with local military officials. Their decision to continue on to Liège despite warnings marks the beginning of their involvement in military operations and sets the stage for their transformation from carefree youths into active participants in the war effort as dispatch-riders for the Belgian army. The opening chapters establish a compelling mix of youthful adventure and the sobering realities of conflict, promising an engaging tale of courage and heroism.
