Beschreibung: The document "BREVET DE VÉLOCIPÉDISTE" (Military Cyclist's Certificate) originates from France in 1901. This historical military certificate was issued to Corporal Muzard in Rambervillers, France, on October 21, 1901. The certificate confirms the successful completion of an examination and qualification for service as a military cyclist. These examinations included long-distance cycling and the ability to maintain and operate a bicycle in field conditions. The document is associated with the 20e Corps d'Armée (20th Army Corps), specifically the 11e Division (11th Division) and the 17e Bataillon de Chasseurs à Pied (17th Battalion of Foot Hunters), which was located in Rambervillers in the Vosges region of eastern France. The certificate demonstrates the period when European armies, including the French, were actively introducing bicycles and establishing specialized units of military cyclists (chasseurs cyclistes) for reconnaissance and liaison tasks. The document is set in an ornate frame with a passe-partout, executed in a style characteristic of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
