Bert Gayler

Bert Gayler finished 30th in the road race at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm and was a non-scoring member of the English team that clinched the silver medal.

In 1917 Gayler, a soldier with the British Army's 25th County of London Cycle Battalion was sent to India as part of an expeditionary force to deal with a revolt amongst Mahsud tribesmen in Waziristan on what is now the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. He was killed by rifle fire during an ambush in a valley near Kotkai Bozi Khel. A memorial to him is to be seen at the Anglican Church in Jullundur.
