Free Bosuns Whistle

[7.62marksman]

This is free to the first one that PM me with their Service Number and address who served in the war
I would like this to go to someone that will look after it as a keepsake
My kids said they didn't want it (one is still serving the other is now a Cop)
I have tried to research it but can find nothing
in the second photo you can see some slight damage near the bowel

What is a Bosun's whistle marksman? Obviously a whistle, but what is its purpose?

There used to be a show back in the 80's that had a bosun's whistle used as least twice or more in it just can't remember the name of it
I has me stumped, I'll remember the name of it in a week and go dam that's right :lol: :lol:
Not Gilligan's Island and I never watched the Love Boat :8 just can't put my thumb on it :lol: :lol:
cool whistle though, would annoy the neighbors a lot if your kids got a hold of it :Y:
