Default Unknown Cyclist Photograph

I've had a go at enhancing this picture, but even at maximum resolution I can't get the insignia any better.

Marked on the reverse "Battle 1908" and "Battle Camp Sussex".

Its possible that there are men from more than one unit shown here?

1908, this could be a stand down event for Volunteers or an early Territorial Army gathering?

The chin straps on the Field Service Caps are interesting and probably quite handy whilst cycling.

Any thoughts and comments welcome.

Please be aware before commenting I may move this item on at some point, but at the moment I'm just interested in who they are.

Rob

I would say one of the Middlesex VRC, probably the 26th (Cyclists).
