You think that you were hard done by???

The summer uniform for the Royal Navy included a white hat which had to be whitened with white ‘Blanco’ as did the belt and gaiters and sling on the rifle. Imagine a white belt around a navy blue uniform.

We also had white shoes for the tropical uniform, Blancoed of course.

Now when it rained ……………..

Getting the white drips out of a navy blue serge uniform was an education.
