It varied.

I suspect when out in the field for long periods of time, they didn't bother. I mean it is a faff!

However when back in barracks, if they had an RSM/CSM who was that way minded, they'd probably have to keep it fresh. Especially if on guard duty (etc)...

Also, if they had a parade they'd have to keep it fresh, but then that'd normally just be a belt.

Blancoing and bulling is something soldiers were ordered to do to keep them busy. As such it was far more likely to be done in peacetime.

So having said all that, personally I've let mine fade.

I tend to do my webbing at the start of every season and then re-do my parade belt as I go through the season.

I don't even know how you lot can talk about Blanco when Justin Bieber's been attacked in Dubai.
Have you no sense of decency sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

I just watched some video of the attack.
How shocking.
His vocal continued after he had been thrown to the ground and the piano demolished.....
Either he is the ultimate professional and was singing through the assault or he was using a vocal track?
