fv1609 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ha ha, ye your right I was peeking lol Is 1 official disposal or ‘sold out of service’ ? Best, C. Charlie you didn't need to peep, because you are correct!. Well done! Items, particularly clothing, that are condemned for disposal should have an inverted broad arrow as close as possible to the upright broad arrow identifying them as Government property. So as items 1 & 2 are in effect the same you have got item 2 correct as well! So that just leaves us with this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 if V is for VD is I for infectious? Yes Wally spot on, well done! Just this remaining subsidiary question: 'V' was to be marked on the clothing of VD patients. Can anyone say how such patients would be identified on a troop ship?
