Civil Defence Despatch Rider Badge
Unofficial DR (Despatch Rider or spelt Dispatch Rider) badges featuring the winged wheel were made in various colours for members of different units. They are not an officially sanctioned badge. There is photographic evidence of Messengers within the Civil Defence Services wearing this badge on their lower left sleeve. It is assumed that the colour would follow the standard 'old gold' colour.
