BD, Denims, KD,

What ever the troops wore, remember they were all soldiers before they were drivers.

I have seen numerous images of tank suits being worn (blagged no doubt)

The intent was not to call anyone out but an attempt (obviously a feeble one on my part) to provide an answer with some photographs. Yes, tank suits were very popular as well.

No worries. I don't feel like I was called out on anything. Heck I can't even find references to that word. Lol

What were your pictures from Ed? I've never seen those two before of the soldiers.

Ed, I was calling him out. Somebody had to do it...

What is velanizing, how does it apply to battledress, is it a current process, etc.?

It was a proofing process, this phrase is within the following trials report on page 30;

Battledress blouse, velanized, was found satisfactory. The velanizing served to shed all snow met with on this exercise.
88 Battledress trousers, velanized, were found satisfactory.
