          Thanks Guys,
          I'm rapt, I admit it
          Great image of the 2nd pattern tunic as well. You can't help but ask if this young man made it through. It already looks like he has a wound badge...
          Mark.

            Give a man an opinion and you feed him for a day,
            teach a man to use the "search" function on the WAF and you feed him for a lifetime.

                Proof 100% , really nice photo (& cap). 2nd pattern tunic would imply late '42 or early '43 time frame for your cap, not early or late war anyway....

                  Hi Tim,
                  Cheers Mate
                  Thanks everyone else for your kind words. Tim, I know a forum member here who has a 1941 dated 2nd pattern tropical tunic...perhaps we should rethink our generalizations regarding timelines....interesting

                    Well your right then. Did not know 2nd patterns showed up that early, very interesting.... not many in '41 though, still think your cap is mid-war more likely ? But yes, that does force one to re-think the tunic & maybe cap timelines.

                    cheers
                    Tim

                        Here is a link to the original thread I started when I first bought the cap -

                        Plenty of detail shots for those who'd like them.

                          Great photo! If there is ever a 2nd edition to Gary Wilkins' book -- this would go well with his example of a similar cap.

                              If only that tunic were a 1st pattern
                              ...I wouldn't have told you about it and bought it myself
