Of course, if it was a German unit, he would be known as "Melder".

There are several options:
If he is on a motobike/bicycle then he is known as a 'Dispatch Rider'
If he is on foot he would be known as a 'Runner' or 'Messenger'
If he was in a light vehicle (Jeep, Car or Truck) he would probabaly be known as a 'Dispatch Driver' or 'Messenger, or 'Dispatcher' if my memory serves correctly.

That is for British or British Empire forces (including canada).
He would be armed with a sten gun and a webley handgun posibly a grenade or 2 and a bayonet. If it was a motorbike it would have been specialy adapted to go a certain speed i cant think what off the top of my head but faster than the motorbikes on SP anyway.
