"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Paid with details on the paypal bit. 
Also if my memory serves anyone who answered religion none got C of E stamped on their dog tags, in case anyone wants to be a period correct atheist.
That's what I heard as well Craig.
However for some reason the website where we're getting these seems to suggest that it could be left blank. Hmmm...
I would think that might be the website catering for modern customers who want their actual religion/lack of it on their dog tags.
I wish I could remember where the heck I was reading on that now...(glances at book shelf for a second and says 'screw that' in my head.)
I think being a christian country in the 1940s it was the default setting. I cant see the army with its church parades etc at the time giving you an easy option of being atheist.
I'm a Taoist and mine are stamped B for Buddhist as the army didnt recognise offshoots.

im am a buddhist but i dont mind having c of e, or CE on mine. christ was pretty cool, from what i have read about him from the bible.
This book
D-Day to VE-Day: The British Soldier: Uniforms, Insignia and Equipment Pt. 1 by Jean Bouchery
does list the possible religions found on ID discs. Wartime abbrevation was COFE modern tags have CE.
All people in England and Wales are by default COFE unless you opt out. It is what being an established church means. Good in that your local church is obliged to provide the offices of baptism, weddings and funerals to you. Bad if they start going all fundamentalist again and burning you at the stake if you refuse to go to church or profess another faith. See reign of Henry VIII and QE I.
What where the other religions listed? Out of interest.
And I assume this applies just to British soldiers, not those from the rest of the British Empire.
I think its the entire empire
hence 'b' covers most eastern religions for troops in the far east.
As far as i recall
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I have my Grandaddy's originals ( albeit WW1) but they are marked "P" for protestant, but there again that was probably commonplace in Scotland.
in which case sandy, it could be p for prespertarian...........
I will take a set of these but need to think of an alter ego. My real name won't be too realistic for south staffs. 
For the same reason I'm 'Gunnar Hauer' for axis stuff as my real names far too British
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
in which case sandy, it could be p for prespertarian...........
I think I'll go with "P" for Pagan,I'm awful glad it wasn't a "C"
anyone else?
Come on guys utter bargain this!

Not yet a recognised member of PBI (can't do the 'basic' loadout - as I've no Denison but have got everything for Hallamshires - and thus have not been to any of the training days or battles), but I'd hate to miss out on this great offer to forward my Brit kit, especially for when a time comes that I have a high enough level of kit to 'join in' with PBI. Is that okay? If so, I'll post details up.

The fact you can post in this sub-forum means you're already a effectively a member of PBI! Feel free to take us up on the offer!
