BillyH Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Post WW2 men leaving the armed forces were give a suit of civilian clothing. Grandma had uncle Ds, hanging in a wardrobe for years. Never fitted him from the day it was given, till the day he died. Now two of his sisters served, one WAC the other QARANC. The question is, did ladies get a 'demob suit'. Or possibly extra clothing coupons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
