Interesting that the UK issue was made of wool and the NZ ones cloth...you'd have thought that with all those sheep running around that would have been easy!

Hi dumdum
It would be great to see them, and expect other members would also like to see them.
Regards Gerwyn.

Dumdum, I would like to see them as well Please.

OK, guys. I will dig them out!

Afternoon all.

Some of my armbands.

As can be seen the buttons are still attached with string to the eyelets, so take it never worn.

Also LDV & Home Guard (WW2) arm bands.

Ah! Prompted me to dig out those pics of the NZ armbands (or "armlets" as they liked to call them at the time).

I have a certificate that goes with a Derby Scheme armband but not his armband. Might post details of the cert and see if anyone can find more about him.

The NZ ones were not numbered, unlike the UK issue.
