wdbikemad Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am guessing a size 8 would be the largest, matching many other size ranges in the army at the time.......grouped in 2's of different widths, and each group varying in height/length....... The 1968 pattern woollen combat shirt, first in khaki and then green from 1972 onwards, was only made in 4 sizes from 0 to 3....... I have a fair few 50s and 60s era combat shirts in various patterns and sizes....an interesting subject in its own right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdbikemad Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 "CWS" is either "Co-Operative Wholesale Society" or "Compton Webb & Sons"...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
