The British Armed Forces issued special banknotes called “British Armed Forces Special Vouchers” for use in military establishments, canteens, and overseas bases to prevent local currencies from being affected by military personnel spending.

The 1 Pound 1948 British Armed Forces note was part of the Second Series issued after World War II. These notes were primarily for use by British servicemen and servicewomen.

Some key features of the British Armed Forces 1 Pound 1948 note include:

• Color: Predominantly green.
• Front design: The text “British Armed Forces Special Voucher” along with the denomination.
• Back design: Simple, often featuring the denomination.
• Usage restriction: It could only be used within British military installations, and not in the general economy.

These notes are now collectible items, valued for their historical significance.
