How is sewing socks or a tunic any less time consuming than a breadbag? If I put a nick in my breadbag, and I wasn't immediately on the front line - ie not in combat, and not up to my balls in death and destruction, with wounded and dead everywhere with kit to pilfer, it'd be getting sewn. Just my ...

Field repairs were common and were mostly conducted at regimental and/or company level by designated unit tailors, cobblers, saddlers etc. Forget this idea of new kit issue for units that spent lengthy periods at or close to the front - it didn't happen then and it doesn't happen nowadays either! Wh...

Arrived today Chris - many thanks for great service. Super tunic btw, I thought I'd missed out on one of these when Chen went off the scene so I'm well pleased - wool quality (proper late war 'itchy and scratchy'!), colour and fit are perfect. Now for the late-war GD insignia treatment! Cheers

For the posers with too much money. Yes you right I agree with you mate -lots of them C'mon fellas put the 'green eyed' monster back in the cage! So you can't afford a set, me neither but if I could I'd have one. Folks spend a hell of a lot of time on here asking 'bone headed' questions like; "...

Got one on order - can't wait

You dont need both, if you carried that much brass you would strain some thing :) I beg to differ. My opinion is based on two points: 1. Late war period photographs 2. My own personal experience (as a real paratrooper, albeit that was 30 years ago!). You carry as much ammunition as you can - and th...

I can recommend the Epic repro - I have a pair of the very nice Marching boots that RAU had (from Poland I think) around six years ago but they are wearing out now so I needed a replacement pair. I also have post-war 'Jacks' that I used for parade boots but the Epic repros are good value and look re...

So, I've places an order at Richard Underwood on 28 December, 2 January I have received a mail stating my order was processing. I still haven't received my package, which isn't so bad, but I have already send them 2 emails asking nicely when I could expect my order to arrive... no answer what's the...

Hi Guys, I have been out of re-enacting for a couple of years, but want to get back in it. I fancy setting up a new unit. What is involved? Thanks Why? Serious question, why do you feel that WW2 Axis re-enactment in the UK needs another new unit setting up and what would be different about this new...
