Jack Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Seeing as we all have questions about, who wore what, when.....can anyone post an image of the standard/issued uniforms so we have something to work from. Example being, the uniform of a WW2 British infantry man, British Tank crew, US tanker, airborne etc etc. ............Lloyd get some picture up here :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Its a good idea, Jack. Having seen thoughts similar on a couple of WWII forums,recently, one of the biggest 'stumbling blocks', I can see, is , for example, take a Tommy's equipment/uniform. 1) what period, because it did change, - slightly,-during the war. 2) which uniform, due,in part to the style changing, again,slightly during the period. ( think of seeing the BEF, wearing puttees,and to a certain extent WWI uniforms) Also, the uniform itself,whilst being reasonably 'standard', did have differences,dependant on where produced. (I've a RA uniform, dated 1943 make in canada, and the karki green colour and material is different to that produced here in the uk. A good starting point,regarding BA uniforns, certainly,I have found, is WWII Tommy - British Army Uniforms, Europe 39-45,in colour. Please don't take this a knocking your idea, which, is a good one, and one that could well be of benefit, to all. (I've also a pair of KD shorts, and would like to 'complete the uniform to those, so, desert/italian campain uniforms would be good) Be interesting to see others comments on this subject. Cheers.

Karoshi Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Not an easy one Jack. You first got to state the period you're interested in. Pre D-day? post D-day?, pre Arnham? post Arnham?. Pre Bulge? Post Bulge? Attached troops etc. There are hundreds of books on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
