anyone knows if symbol in pic related has any meaning/story?

I don't know the meaning for sure, but my grandpa has a book with this symbol all over it, on many pages. I have to look it up around the house, though, don't know where it is.
It has something to do with 1943.

It is a gang's 'signature', known as a 'Menchie' here in Scotland. It incorporates the initials of the gang - in this case 'Young Leith Team (YLT)', in a distinctive manner, just like a 'tag' in American graffiti culture

Usually gangs (especially in Glasgow) take the form 'Young *Neighbourhood* Team', or variations thereof. Some are quite unique and original.

I should also add that most of these gangs have relatively long histories, forming in industrial working-class areas of Scotland. They are not involved in organised crime, and mostly consist of 10-18 year old boys who drink and fight rival gangs for entertainment.

Strange. Gangsters in the States try to make their tags illegible, where here you can clearly see the Y L and T.

Thank you very much

Yeah, that's exactly how the book (Skagboys) depicts these gangs.
