Great War Shoulder Title ID?

Hi Gents,
I picked up another nice photograph of a Great War motorcyclist in the Royal Engineers, so thought I would share a close up of the shoulder title just in case someone can identify it. Cheers, Roy |
Gt War title
How about T/RE/SIGNAL SERVICE?

T/RE/"COUNTY", typical of TF Royal Engineers shoulder titles.

Some interesting thoughts gents.
Here is a close-up of the armband. I think (?) I can see a letter before the MP? Cheers, Roy |

How about "RMP"

I'd agree with Rob, "RMP" - Regimental Military Police (or so I've always read it). All the best Graham |
Hi Chaps,
Thanks for that. Makes sense to me. Cheerio, Roy |
I may be wrong but I thought that regimental policemen wore just the letters RP but Garrison Military Police wore GMP as RPs were not in the same sense military policemen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My personal experience in the 1980s and 90s was wearing an RP arm band whilst in the Royal Signals. It was great to wear as it stopped you being 'dicked' for random jobs when wandering around the camp area. Otherwise I marched with a sheet of white paper for one of the 'officers' real or imagined...

Thank you for that concise explanation Toby.
It's a good day when one learns something new and that has certainly been my experience in reading your comments. Greatly appreciated. Cheers, Roy |
