I would appreciate if anyone has any information about this type of bracelet.

My eldest cousin gave me this memento yesterday. It was sent to her during WWII from an uncle who was deployed as a US Army MP. It has enameled flags of Belgium (damaged), USA, Great Britain, and France. We know he was stationed in those countries.

The bracelet isn't what is usually called a sweetheart bracelet. The 2 styles of sweetheart bracelets I'm familar with are like these.

Yours could be called a Victory Bracelet. I'll look in my reference books later and see if I can find any additional information.

Thank you. :)

"Victory" terminology makes sense, and a google search using "Victory" shows similar bracelets.

Was wondering if the flags usually represented nations deployed to, or were there other meanings to different groupings?
