SvB 288 trooper with 3rd pattern trop.tunic !!! (image dated October '43)

Its neat that this image shows all 3 patterns tropical tunics in 1 group shot!
The late M43 final pattern tropical tunic is clearly the least bleached!

Thanks for the link, Nick.
Not too suprising - 3rd patterns were first issued and worn by the end of 1942. Excellent image and interesting the amounts of both natural and chemical bleaching seen in wear....
