The brassards were issued for the Normandy invasion to Britsh and American forces and used to detect the presence of poison gas (mustard gas). These paper armbands were impregnated with the same vesticant detector paint which was also painted on vehicles and helmets. On contact with poison gas, the paper would turn pink or red.

All of these armbands were British made and a few million were bought by the US Army.
