Default RFA ID BRACELET

Got this in a box of odds and ends.
Assume its WW1.
I don't have access to any UK records, any info on this bracelet would be great.

Cheers!

Wow that was fast, thank you.

Nice to see he was awarded an MM.

Great little bonus that was in the bottom of a box!

The "B" before the Brigade no. on the bracelet indicates that he was in "B" (Fifeshire) Battery, the Brigade was part of 51st (Highland) Division.
