Looking at the picture of John Dudley, I see he has two Gold Wound Stripes on his lower left sleeve.
I know in the Great War British soldiers wore wound stripes, ( I think 6 is the most I've seen.)

Were they also issued and worn in WW2?

Are they still worn in the modern British Army ?
There's a few serving soldiers who'd be entitled to them .
