Repair A Commando Sweater

[browningautorifle]

I seem to remember that in the 'housewife' we were issued with contained buttons, some thread and wool, a thimble....., you know the kind of stuff. A 'housewife' was a little roll up thing.

Yes, I remember well. Matter of fact, mine still has my name and last three on it for kit inspection...and I still use it.
