Seconded - I've been scouring army surplus shops for years hoping to find one.

They made many a long cold night stag in NI bearable in th 70's.

My biggest mistake - gave our green keepers mine. 2 old syle (luxury) and 1 DPM mit liner (poor mans equivalent).

I scour the Surplus stores too, but they only ever come up in 170/104 size and I want 190/120. Please give me a PM if you ever come across a biggun like that! Ta.

Boots DMS......okay they weren't watertight but they were comfortable and at least a squad could march in time wearing them. What gives with the modern brothel creepers? Silent parades or what?

It may have been ussued to you in '82. I remember using both it and Larkspur in 1979 at RMAS. Amazingly we had Clansman on Rowallan Company, followed by Larkspur on the first term of SMC, followed by Clansman again........................
