I've seen it stated that British
soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk were sent home on 2 weeks leave, immediately. How correct this is and how many of those evacuated, if true, I don't know but I guess there were pros and cons for giving 2 weeks leave. They certainly deserved it after all they had been through.

Seen a few at the War & Peace show, also other country variants, one dealer had rail full of them but not sure of which country, maybe Dutch or Belgium ?? I mentioned in another post about about an Army Navy store in Liverpool when I was kid, it had about 5 floors all packed to the gunnels with all types ex surplus clothing lots of Greatcoats, Army, Navy, RAF... Like others have said more often worn for work wear etc.
I don't think they will be too hard to find, have a look on ebay, WW2 dated ones will be a lot more than a post war one.

My point is he asked a question and then headed out. Like so many we get here...hasn't looked back. Wonder if he will?

That's why I asked, Jim. I thought that he may have come back and said thanks for the help because he may find that he needs further advice about something else in the future.
