EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the image of the Royal Engineers Signal Company Despatch Rider badge from the period of 1914-1918. The badge, adorned with the iconic motto "Ubique" (Latin for "everywhere"), represents the vital role played by the Signal Company Despatch Riders during the First World War. The Despatch Riders, also known as motorcyclists or dispatch motorcyclists, were an essential component of the Royal Engineers Signals, responsible for delivering critical communication between the front lines and headquarters. Their quick and agile mode of transportation enabled them to traverse challenging terrains and deliver messages in a timely and efficient manner, thereby significantly contributing to the success of military operations. The badge itself is a testament to the bravery and dedication of these riders, who faced numerous risks and challenges while on duty. The motorbike in the design symbolizes their mobility and speed, while the laurel wreath encircling the badge signifies victory and achievement. The regal crown at the top of the badge underscores the military significance and prestige of the Royal Engineers. This commemorative ware print serves as a poignant reminder of the invaluable service provided by the Royal Engineers Signal Company Despatch Riders during the First World War. Their contributions to the communication and signaling efforts played a crucial role in the overall success of the military campaigns, making this badge a significant piece of military history and a tribute to the courage and determination of these brave men.
