    Most Britishicon Army WW2 veterans I've spoken too (and that was many, as being a volunteer with several associations back in the late 80's and through the 90's incl 1st AB Recce Association and 43rd Recce Association) and my Dad also spoke of having to learn how to scrounge kit during his 12 month tour in Palestine in 46/47.
