Tony Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello,Here's a photo picked up today, as can be seen the soldier has a white or light coloured patch attached to his left sleeve. Does anyone have an idea what the 66 insignia means?ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks Chip. I honestly didn’t think it’d be his unit number, not on his arm and had no idea it was air force. After having a quick squiz online I see they were a messenger pigeon unit that first appeared in May 1915 and only existed until January 1917.A shame someone has glued a photo to the back, hiding any information that might be there.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
