Thank you for information! is it common for a paybook to have so little information. that stamp is the only thing in the paybook, nothing else wrote or stamped in it! thanks Brian

Content of the booklet depends on when the soldier was activated, how active his unit was, etc., although it does seem that these bare bones roll call stamped booklets are more common near the end of the war. I have examples in my collection that have several entries that span several years and cover multiple fronts, which can take up several pages.
