WW2 Dispatch Riders

[54/102 CEF]

Anyone out there have leads on sources for the training of DR Riders? Syllabus? Your work could end up as credit on a book project!

Would these have been Signallers?

They could have been but each unit also had their own DRs. I took my MC training after the war at Pet. The course was run by the RCASC. I was not a DR but all the Sergeants in Support Coy had to learn to ride a bike and direct traffic.
