Richard Farrant Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 this man would not normally be seen by the enemy. He was the boiler man running the mobile laundry ........ way back from the frontline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 The clothing has been coated with something, hence why the shirt is darker on the outside.Nope Richard this was just normal issue clothing illustrating the difficulties he had encountered in two extremes of clothing.

fv1609 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 He was the boiler man running the mobile laundry ........ way back from the frontline!Richard there were a couple of other laundry orientated replies but they have gone. Nope he's not a boiler/laundry man. He would be very much a front line participant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be very much a front line participant. Ah a clue here, not seen by the enemy and still on the front line, second photo nails it, he is a sniper.

Good idea but he's not a sniper Richard. So in summary we have British trials of something in Australia (=hot weather) with a fighting man on the front lines who can't be seen by the enemy & is not a sniper.

fv1609 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 are these dehydration trails to moniter the effects of heat and fluid loss A good suggestion Wally but the sweaty clothes were more of an incidental finding to the main trials. If I mention the name of the organisation it will become more obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 A tank crewman ............. Very well deduced Richard very close. I must make a harsh judgement but not a tank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Is the man a member of the SAS ?Don't think so Richard. But look at your last post yesterday, you were within a hair's breadth of being correct. But if I gave it to you then it would be picked up on as your terminology was not 100% correct for this trial :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
