PREPARATION FOR D-DAY - DAKS OVER DUXFORD

[Gil Boyd]

GeeRam,
Our 38/44 Pattern kit was crap compared to the U.S Paratrooper. We were a formation in part made up of Lions but led by Donkeys. Noone really cared except when changes were made to the helmet and the smock, everything else was issued to ALL units.
Why ankle supports were never a priority, especially when most injuries were indured by ankle breaks, who knows???
