    Have recently acquired a 1943 Royal Engineers Battle Dress Tunic complete with Sergeants stripes and a badge for the X111 corp which saw service in the Western Desert, Tunisia, Sicily and Italy. Didn't realise at the time of purchase (local car boot sale) that the tunic was made in the USA by Davis Sportswear Inc and has the Philadelphia Q.M. Depot Inspectors label. Seems this was part of the lend/lease agreement between Britain and America. Dated Jan 4th 1943. You learn something new every day.
