    Hi Owen,
    The windproof camo uniform was worn only during the first tour of the 29th Inf Bde. The 27th Bde received from the US quartermaster M43 field uniforms. But US Pile caps were issued to the both brigades (27 and 29th Bde). The canadian Bde (25th Bde) has its own cold weather uniforms.

    Here is a trooper of the 8th Irish Hussar


    and some gunners during the Gloucester hill fights in 1951



    Cheers
