These British Military Bank Notes were introduced after World War II to protect our currency. They were needed to make sure the economies of the countries which Britain occupied could still keep going and to ensure that our notes were not used and abused. The British Pound was one of the strongest currencies in the world at the time and black marketeers were always trying to get them.
