Default H.M. Submarines Cap Tally

I need the help of the forum please to date this cap tally.

It is in gold bullion and the dots are square shaped.

WWI, WWII, or later please?

Thank you for looking

Keith

(QUOTE: Tallies issued for use in submarines have an interesting history. When the Submarine Service was first established tallies bearing 'H.M. SUBMARINES' were used. AFO 226/24 of 7th January 1924 stated that in future all cap ribbons worn by the crews of submarines were to bear the individual designation of the respective submarine instead of the 'H.M. SUBMARINES' tally. This meant that submariners tallies bore the submarine's number prefixed by 'H.M. SUBMARINE', i.e, 'H.M. SUBMARINE E12' etc. A quantity of 'H.M. SUBMARINES' cap ribbons were retained for use by spare (unallocated) crews. A variant of the submariner's tally bears the lettering 'H.M. SUBMARINE'.

The use of 'named' tallies for submarines went out of use before the Second World War, when submariners reverted to using 'H.M. SUBMARINES' tallies. Ratings serving on submarines were also authorised to wear an economy pattern ribbon bearing only the lettering 'H.M. S/M' under AFO 3481/43.

Since the end of the Second World War submariners have only worn tallies bearing the lettering 'H.M. SUBMARINES'. This is still the situation today.)

Thank you Mike,

So my tally is WWII or later
