Errata Sheet For David Gordon WWII Tommy Weapons, Equipment, Uniforms Books?

[tj214]

Thanks. Didn't know he was still working on this project. I think (am certain) I have earlier versions of the three volumes, so will look for the most recent editions.

When you speak with him please ensure he understands I mean no offense, but every time somebody publishes something people come out of the woodwork with "additional information" they wish you'd had when you wrote the book (ask me how I know this...).

I'd also like to find out about whether the sniper Dennison smock had a pocket watch tab on an inside pocket similar to the one shown on the officer's Service Dress jacket on page 5 of the 2005 edition of his Uniforms volume. More to the point, can he tell me where/how snipers typically carried their pocket watch on active service? I'd expect this was generally left up to the individual, and obviously not an issue if they wore a wristwatch.

I've read many snipers carried their compass on a long strap around their neck and tucked inside the battledress/smock. Was it common to do the same with a pocket watch? Not sure I'd want the two banging together inside my shirt!
