Unknown Armbands

[JohnLynch]

Can you provide me any information on these armbands found on Trade Me.

The first one - I think - is the WW1 version Women's Land Army
The second is a "Derby Scheme" WW1 armband worn by those on deferred call-up in civilian clothes.

No idea on the third, and the fourth looks like a modern British 'Movements' armband.

I have one of these and was told that it stood for deck, that there was a sgt in charge of a deck in troopships.

No idea if it is true, or if it is just a story made up by a dealer.
