Swiss velobrigade patches

These two patches were given to me by Neil Andrews (your source for M-05 and M-93 in Swtizerland).

The patch on the left with the two yellow rifles crossed is a battalian insignia and worn by fighting troops.

 

The patch on the right was worn by supply personnel who trailed the velofahrrern in Pingauers and other supply vehicles. This support group provided meals, mechanical support, munisions stocks, camp needs, etc...

The velofahrrer carried weapons and the most basic equipment for the field with the bulk of their loads being weapons.
