I'm quite intrigued about that smock. Not being very familiar with the topic, I'd like to know the fate of Canadian AB uniforms after 1st Can Para was disbanded at the end of the summer of 1945.
My only source of information is Ken Joyce and his book is limited on post war uniforms.
Does-it seem reasonable to assume the nucleus of Canadian paratroopers remaining continued to be equipped by the British in the late 40s as suggested by the smock discussed in this thread?
I would have imagined plenty of stock of WW2 garments existed at the time in Canada.
Thoughts appreciated.
