id like to really know if they are real? 99% sure they are as they were found in family items who were in the forces.

look old enough to be real IMO
Looks real to me.
Whose are they?
Rob
never looked inside tbh...
the service book hasnt really been used. only the first page. no name. only says that the person was enlisted for NS on 1 NOV 1945
skill at arms...
army number: 12345678 (seems unlikely to me?)
rank and name : Teacake J
weapon No.
rifle ... XYZ 9876
there are a few scores in the book. but not much is written in
Seems unlikely to me also. Sounds like they are unused but someone scribbled in them. They're OK though. You should be able to tell exactly when they were printed. Have a look at the end of each book and you should see the printing info line, usualy the very last printed line in the book. It will look something like:
(12345) Wt. 45454-9999 1M 2/43 W.C.&S Ltd Gp. 345
In this case (which I made up) the 2/43 tells you it was printed Feb 1943 and the 1M that it was a 1 Million print run.

Sounds like they were used by kids to play with !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Could be used as examples for training
