Talk:Broad arrow

message: This was pretty inadequate so I added some info I gleaned from the net but I am very uncertain of dates etc and you will notice references clash. Our Board of Ordnance article is pretty vague too. Feel free to jump in...Gwinva? Mhicaoidh (talk) 04:39, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This is mentioned for Australia, but not for Britain. Prison clothes with broad arrows all over them were a notable feature of the UK penal system, and this should be mentioned in the article. 24.4.136.172 (talk) 18:33, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: From the article, section "Use for British Government property", subsection "Later use": "The broad arrow was routinely used on British prison uniforms from about the 1830s onwards." (with reference). There's also an illustration. GrindtXX (talk) 21:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
