Formally Vocabulary of Army Ordnance Stores (V.A.O.S.) Section AA or A1, Helmets and Accoutrements. When the contents of Section A1 of the V.A.O.S were transferred from Didcot Ordnance depot’s accounts to COD Branston c1961, they also changed to a new Section CN, raised under the Catalogue of Clothing and Necessaries (C.C.N.) for Webbing and Accoutrements.
