[byterock]

Funny he is missing the War Medal on the first DB. So he either was demobbed before he put it up or never put it up at all.

interesting

The first one is a US war aid BD, that puts it around '43 or '44 if I'm not mistaken.
Vey nice indeed.

Thanks Luc I wondered about it as the labeling even tho washed out was different to anything I have seen in a British made BD.Roger

Correct, war aid battle dress has two labels but I'm afraid I don't have an example to show that is still readable.

Hi The war aid battle dress was given to the troops coming from north africa
to italy .as they only had KD not suitable for italy.i this matches the ribbons.
for years always wondered about my wifes grandad saying ( we attacked
monte casino wearing american uniforms) as if they where dresed as american
troops.all the ones i have seen are 1943 we where busy building up the
normandy armies
