This website aims to act as a hub for disseminating information and research related to the subject of tokens, checks and passes (i.e. paranumismatics) associated with British ordnance and munitions manufacture as well as military supply industry activities (i.e. War Work) in the British Isles. The site's principal period of focus is the Great War (1914 to 1918) although related tokens prior to this period as well as from the Second World War (1939 to 1945) and inter-war years are also included.

A longer term aim of this site will be to list, and wherever possible, illustrate all known types of paranumistmatics related to the above stated subject matter. The bulk of the tokens discussed were used by civilian workers employed in the manufacture of armaments (including airplanes and ships), weapons, explosives, munitions, military equipment and uniforms etc. at either privately owned or, more often, British Government operated specialist factories. These were located throughout the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.
