War Department currency was issued for use by British military personnel in occupied and liberated territories during the Second World War, preventing servicemen from drawing on local economies or exposing sterling to black-market exchange. The 1 Shilling note formed part of a series of low-denomination "BAF" (British Armed Forces) vouchers that could only be redeemed through approved military channels — possession by a civilian was technically an offence.
The series was demonetised at the war's end and surviving notes were supposed to be returned. Most were not, which paradoxically makes circulated examples more common than uncirculated ones held through official channels.
