Default 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

No blue and white armbands, the "MP" band could be "GMP" or another variation of the Military Police armband.

Some interesting thoughts gents.

Here is a close-up of the armband. I think (?) I can see a letter before the MP?

Cheers,

Roy

Hi Roy

I'd agree with Rob, "RMP" - Regimental Military Police (or so I've always read it).

All the best

Graham
