New D-Day vehicles for the Canadian army

[Ed Storey]

Now we have the full story, I wish you had provided those details earlier as you had me believing that you had some mythical BD uniform tht had travelled all through NW Europe.

The well-worn BD in the kit bag is interesting, but how do you know it was field used?

It is nice that you represent the QOR Museum, but to be frank, museums are some of the biggest offenders for glossing over the details, especially when it comes to material history. I asked you about your original earlier post, "Not only that the third Division had new weapons, Uniforms and web. The helmets were the Mk 3 style , the web was Brit. web with web "D"'s, and the uniforms were Canadian style British made. With the exception of the Brens the weapons were new Brit made stens and Enfields." Specifically if you had any primary source material to back up the statement or is this just a theory of yours?

I am glad you deal in more than just Part II Orders and coffee table books, so I will press you again to see if you have any primary source data to back up your statment? Nothing would impress me more if you could provide the QOR QM returns for Mk III Helmets or a written order from the QOR CO directing everyone in the regiment to draw new BD prior to the invasion.
