hi all
sorry to disappoint you all but its badges , good conduct badges were inverted chevron stripes worn on the sleeve of a uniform .
regards
trevor

So then they would be marks/insignia rather than badges wouldn't they?   ;)

And that word on the piece of paper doesn't say badges - well I don't think it does anyhow!   ::) :D

It probably led to badges but I still think it says marks.

I agree - the word on the piece we've been asked to decipher definitely says 'marks'.

Regardless of what it should say, I'm sure the word is marks

These various references on Google Books help as to what was meant by marks.
