It seems as if it's made from an itchy wool that looks really uncomfortable and unsuitable for certain tropical conditions. Is it a one piece as well? It looks as if the shirt and trousers are connected. I know we had a material shortage during the war but was it seriously that bad? Surely a better design could of been constructed. I'd hate to have worn it, like I said before it looks so uncomfortable and itchy. Anyway I want to know whether it was good or not. Also why did we stick to the old 'tin hat' helmet? I know turtle helmets were issued to some British soldiers during D-day but the design isn't exactly dramatically different. Why didn't we just make more British para helmets for all regiments of the military?
Unfortunatley I can't post any links to the image.
