Yes, those padded jackets are incredibly warm, smock is much more practical and a lot cheaper . Heer camo tends to be very late war (if any at all...

Got back from Tims funeral a while ago. It was a really good send-off on a beautiful day, and his Napoleonic pals from the 45th had also turned up in ...

PM received at £10 sent. Cheers Martin
