VD
From ARRSEpedia
Can be either:
Veneral Disease
Remember that all local women concerned may be infected. Sheaths and prophylactic packets are available in units etc and should be used as necessary. (Taken from 'The Conduct of Anti-Terrorist Operations in Malaya 1958', but could equally be as informative/helpful for many garrison towns in the UK).
Or
Also the post-nominal letters for the Volunteer Decoration - a twenty-year long service award for officers of the old Volunteer Force. Ho ho, ha ha. Unfortunately, there was no provision for a second award bar, so 'VD & scar' was tactfully avoided.
