ATS FANY Insignia Question
I am wondering if in WW2 the ATS FANY drivers ever wore the "Winged MT Wheel" patch? Or, was that strictly a WWI insignia?
Thanks, Terry

Terry,
It was mostly a WW2 badge but I would say if anything they would have worn the unofficial winged DR badge. regards

I have never seen a photo of them being worn but a file at the National Archives at Kew contains some correspondence between the ATS and the War Office in January 1943 recording that ‘drivers from the [ATS] Chilwell Group’ wore MT ‘wings’.

Jon,
Would the Chilwell unit possibly have worn a regimental collar dog on the left chest? If so what regiment would it be? Thanks, Terry

Chilwell was mainly 'Central Ordnance Depot Chilwell' which was HQ Vehicle Organisation which had a large number of ATS attached (over 3500) both in the Depot and as ATS/RAOC drivers to move mainly B vehicles around the country.
