It includes snaps on the back, though some may require restitching for secure attachment. Used primarily for recruiting purposes during World War I, this armband was designed to be worn with civilian suits due to the initial shortage of military uniforms, similar to the Derby Scheme. Its unique role in the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) during the war, along with its scarce availability, makes it a highly sought-after item for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. This armband not only represents a piece of military attire but also tells a broader story of the war effort and the mobilization of troops.
