      When you go home
      Tell them for us and say
      For your tomorrow
      We gave our today

        But, how do we know this was done before the factory converted smocks?

        Perhaps the time line when a particular veteran acquired the smock?

          Yes, that would the the key. A true Kreta vet piece with that sort of precise provenance would be a rare piece indeed.
