[@andrewhammond1949]

Well done young man!

[@grassic]

Very good presentation, very informative. I have a photo of my grandfather in that very uniform, he was RFA and has a leather bandolier. The coat seems a wee bit big on you but never mind, good job

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

Thank you 👍

[@Kingsasch]

Such a great video. Greetings from Germany.

[@historiaobscurum3308]

Thank you 👍

Nice

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

Odd that they called the Lee Enfield "short magazine", when it had double the capacity of most bolt action rifles at the time.

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

@sebastijanglozinic8630 the short bit refers to the shortened barrel, as it's predecessor had a longer barrel. The magazine refers to the fact that it's magazine fed.

[@bullzy8150]

Cool

[@reliablebeansmilitarygames3076]

Do you ever think that you could showcase some German, American, or maybe Australian uniforms? I'd love to see an original Australian officer's cap from WWI.

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

Probably not as most of my collection is British Militaria apart form a few odd bits of Commenwealth webbing.

[@DonDon-zm3vz]

where did you get the greatcoat and large Pack?

[@TJRookwood]

as far as i know, brits used some kind of green paste on their equipment as protection. so in the reality it wouldnt look that bright.

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

Yes that is correct, but as it's all original webbing, I don't want to change its colour.

[@Kempy_O]

Blanco

[@Kempy_O]

@@MatthewsMilitaryMoments that must if cost a lot

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

@@Kempy_O not really, as it was all my dad's kit and he was buying it when he was 14 and there was so much of it around at that time that it was really cheap.

[@Kempy_O]

Thanks

[@TB-dp8yp]

Do you feel like You could manage to stay in all that wool in summer hot sunny day on open field?

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

As part of my hobby as a Living Historian, yes I can say that I am able to do this. I have done events in Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands doing various periods, in various uniforms and can tell you that once the uniform is on, you get used to the temperature and then it's just a case of preventing dehydration through drinking.

[@valles_marineris8955]

Too big, lad. You should look for your actual size. Well done anyway

[@MatthewsMilitaryMoments]

Thanks 👍. I am using mainly my Dad's Collection so most of it will be a bit big.

[@valles_marineris8955]

@@MatthewsMilitaryMoments That sounds great, keeping the tradition alive. Congratulations for your fine collection and broad knowledge on the matter
