Default Uniforms

Regarding the Uniforms. I have Invasion worn Uniforms. They are Canadian style (no outside buttons) and British made. The high boots were 3rd Div. Well known, as are the helmets. The webbing is British made and marked. Easily spotted by the Canvas D's. I have several sets of it all. Two were worn by the vets that gave it to me.
After the Invasion relaced material was from Canadian Stores.
And the invasion battledress had thad gas coating on it that hardened from the water.
Imagine coming ashore in a totally soaked Bd. uniform with all pouches and packs filled with water. What fun.
