Default Latest WWI Despatch Rider Patch Image

Hi Gents,

Here is my latest original Great War image of the Despatch Rider insignia. A super nice studio shot with a clear image of the unofficial DR/Wheel patch, importantly with 'wings'. On the back are some details which I can only assume are correct.

This example appears to have 'wings', the first time I have seen such a design on a WWI patch as it's normally just the DR/Wheel on these early examples.


I have a few images now of these early DR patches, I really should pull them all together.



Cheerio, stay safe and happy collecting,

Roy
