Identity Bracelet

Recommended Posts

On a whim I bought this nice example of a privately purchased ID bracelet. I assumed it was British/Commonwealth (CofE), but am stumpted as to what unit '849 A.E. (ART) COY' is. Help!

Thanks! I'm 'made up' now; new to Ancestry I couldn't find a damned thing when I searched, and you chaps have done me proud. Thanks for taking the trouble on my behalf.

Best

Peter - I am presuming it's Area Employment (Artisan) Company, a unit in the Labour Corps.

Thanks Paul - well done on your recent TV work, by the way (I believe there is a separate thread on that....)

Peter
