As LFU is postponed me and Orky are going to the fair - we are taking Joe. Webby and Heb are making their own way from Cheshire.

I am on the lookout for a Denison smock (otherwise ordering from Warren) which Orky will wear for the April event - but it's mine really (hope it will work out - he is taller than me but it's mostly leg length). I am also going to get a full set of webbing and some gaitors.

Top and bottom is I need some hand-holding, hope I can find you guys!

Well some of them were Staffords (1st battalion) so stands to reason, you have a battalion of staffords in theatre and you always win in the end...

I'm quite lucky that both my impressions can be done with the same cap badge, dog tags and all the small kit!

Dave, no probs with hand holding for buying stuff... its pretty easy to be honest! I've got to get some webbing for Jay Sladen as well...
