We are studying our family history and found a book from 1939 that was presented as an award from a British School. On the first page it says "Presented to Kathleen Bohn, V B". The "V" also has a straight line over the top. Does anyone know what these two letters may refer to?

A "v" with a straight line across the top is latin for 5000 (the straight line across the top meant to multiply the number by 1000.) Could there be a connection with that somehow?

Usually used after very fat peoples name - just for identification sake. It stands for "Very Broad".
