Default The itchy battledress of WW II

Hey Vets:
Boy was it ever itchy and hot! hot! hot!( the balledress) but there's a moment of reflection here ! At night time it cooled right down,and so did the action also the itchy battledress seemed to be not so itchy. That's until Lt General Guy Simmonds pulled one of his famous pre-dawn attacks, then everyone was "on board", so we were not too bad heat wise until the sun came up and then the heat increased. Gawd did we perspire from the heat and also lots of sweat from the fear of getting "it".
I wish I could express my-self Like George G Blackburn did in his famous trilogy of books on a gunners birdseye view of World Wr II
Cheers and regards
Herb
