    strange badges

    Was found in Stalag IB. I think that it
    is British. Please help ID.

    It's a Commonwealth (I know Brits and Australians used it) drivers badge.

      Might be Dutch Wielrijders (cyclists). There are many versions of it; maybe try google "wielrijders embleem".

        Wrong pattern for a British drivers Prize badge.

          It is indeed Regiment Wielrijders.
          The emblem is Dutch.

            The badge is badly corroded but it is most likely a Dutch collarbadge.

            Not Wielrijders (Cyclists) but from Korps Motordienst (Motorised Transport) due to the thicker wheel. This badge was originally red painted.

            Could have been from a Dutch POW.

            Regards.

                It is a ventilation grill from the inside of a pith helmet.
