One of our customers sent us this WW1 picture showing WWI gunners from the British Royal Artillery, with one wearing, most likely a Number 58 Whistle.
One of our valued customers wearing his 23/230 Whistle on his A2 Flight Jacket whilst entertaining corporate celebrities in Singapore. The flash is very bright!
