DESCRIPTION

"Greetings & Salutations!" There were many issues of this booklet from 1939 to 1943 that show the insignia of the British Army, the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, the R.A.F., and Auxiliaries of the United Kingdom, a/k/a "Great Britain." I have booklets like this also for World War One (1914-1918) as well as World War Two (1939-1945) scanned, I email free scans to those that want to receive them for free. You can then download these to CD disks and use however you wish to do so! Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California (POST SCRIPT: I sell nothing! I contribute to other collectors when I have things to donate, like these scans, for instance, enjoy!)
