JMB1943 Posted 3 August , 2022 Share Posted 3 August , 2022 I have several questions regarding these for your consideration, 1) did the soldier carry it on his person at all times (except on a trench raid)? 2) did it have stiff board covers (i.e., a hardback)? 3) what were the dimensions of the paybook?

David Ellin Posted 6 August , 2022 Share Posted 6 August , 2022 1. I can't see it written in the book, but sure I've read somewhere that it should be kept in one of the jacket pockets at all times. 2. Cover is a thin card , covered in some material. 3. It's approximately 6" × 4" when closed Hope this help's Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB1943 Posted 6 August , 2022 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2022 Dave, I knew that somebody must have the details, so many thanks. Postcards to/from my grandfather are relatively uncreased, and I wondered if he had carried them in his playbook. Certainly the playbook is large enough.
