mick1234 Posted 14 November , 2008 Share Posted 14 November , 2008 Hi all, Going through my late Grandfathers records, I have noticed that he was issued with an armlet and was asked did he receive the Pamphlet. Can any one tell me what this was. This was issued on AF W.3214 for which he had to sign for.Thanks. regards, mick. ps On another subject, Was it only after Sept 1916 that the SWB was issued to soldiers. My Grandfather was discharged in May 1916 due to being wounded and see no account of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
