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:

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?

would they be wearing hospital blues

 

Yes pretty much that Wally,well done.

 

Just blue for the jackets: Jackets, serge, unlined (blue)

With Trousers, serge, unlined (ordinary)

 

6 sets of these clothes with 25 Handkerchiefs, cotton were carried on each troop ship irrespective of number of troops carried. These were Clothing Regulations 1953.
