You may have this already - this copy in USA I think

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...act&ref=imprad

I think the author has done other similar books

Not as comprehensive as your area of search but some illustrations may be of interest

I do have that, along with multiple other books on the subject ranging from wartime books through the modern ones. I am lacking original wartime dress regulation publications/manuals for each group and am always in the market for them. Right now I'm mainly looking for original photos to buy. I have several hundred already, but am always keen to find new ones, especially if the more obscure organizations.

Regards, Jeff

Not exactly what you are looking for but three items related to my late and lamented friend Elsa Laverick - a cartoon done of her when working in a military hospital in India late 1945 (as Lt. QAIMNS), Elsa when her husband was serving in Malaya during the Emergency and the inside of her Indian-made BD blouse (which she very kindly gave me some years ago). Her husband was CIH throughout World War 2 and post 1947 and Indian Independence, RA and then RAOC. Mike

Is this more to your liking - Cpl (later Sgt) Early ATS attached to(and "breasted") Int Corps. She worked at Bletchley Park - when found her tunic had the unused half of a 3rd Class rail ticket from London in left breast pocket.
