Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 29 June , 2003 Share Posted 29 June , 2003 A bit of a long shot I know but are the triangular 'On War Service' badges, which are numbered on the back, and given to munititon workers researchable and therefore making the recipient identifiable.

Guest Hill 60 Posted 29 June , 2003 Share Posted 29 June , 2003 Ian - I don't think the records exist anymore. If they do I know Jean would be interested if there is a record as she has one of each of the official badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 29 June , 2003 Share Posted 29 June , 2003 Lee, I am asking on behalf of a work colleague, who is distantly related to Lilian Baker, who was Chief Superintendent at the Woolwich Arsenal. She has in her possession a couple of these badges and wants to know which one was Miss Baker's. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 30 June , 2003 Share Posted 30 June , 2003 Ian - the simple answer to your question is no. The 30 minute answer can be reached via this link > http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/OWS.html > but maybe has the advantage of explaining why any OWS badges which you have may not be quite what you think they are regards - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 15 July , 2003 Share Posted 15 July , 2003 Tom, An excellent article - the triangular badge was the one in question. However I also have one of those Admiralty Blue ones and I now know what it is - Many thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
