    'Full Zip'/'Officer' Denisons - a bit of a myth?

    in Clothing/uniforms

    And other ranks:-

    Denisons of either pattern issued to officers had woollen collar linings. By the time of the D-Day airdrops, some officers had had their jackets modified with a full length zip by their personal tailors, since this was not available on the issue item. Wartime photographs show that some other ranks had their smocks serviced the same way by the unit tailor.

    This is the text from Sussex Crimewatch:-

    My neighbours vintage landrover was stolen overnight from Lurgashall near Petworth. reg 222 FXJ it is green has ariel mounts and ex military.   Reported to police, more info to follow when I get it.  Edited to add. Short wheelbase, soft top. crime number 47200149159.  A family with a dog were seen hanging around near the vehicle on Friday, nicely spoken woman, southern accent with dark shoulder length hair thin face about 45/50 ish about 5‘4-5’6 ish. The son about 12 rounded face, seemed to have a phone out as if to take pictures along the drive maybe. When challenged said they were picking blackberries, ( they did have a container with them but it looked empty and there is a bush by the driveway.)possibly 2 other childeren one a girl. The  Dog was chocolatey gingerish in colour and looked very like a kelpieXLab, short coat kelpie like face,  it might have been on a blue harness.  The Father/ male had already walked further up the road so no description. Now these people may well be innocent, but just in case someone spots a similar family near a vintage landy it might be worth bearing in mind.
