When your ammo boots arrive but are the incorrect ones.

Any advice on WW2 Ammo boots and where I can get some?

9 wide if they do them 😂

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

I can't wait to drag on my wool serge battledress suit and head out to some Reenactment events!

Another Ebay find!

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

I think next year I'm going to try and take part in the Dunkirk Anniversary march.

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

Looking for some general information or any customs etc that members of the CMP (Corps of military Police) would do?

E.g Red cap cover and armband only worn during duty time (similar to Civilian Police)

Anyone have anything else to help improve my CMP impression.

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

Picked this up and it arrived today and surprised to see young @Taff_Gillingham inside!

Has anyone out here in Twitter land has have references photos of Military Foot Police from The Great War?

Any advice for getting patches on straight when sewing them on by hand onto battledress?

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

God i wish I could sew!

Trying to sew on my patches on my battledress blouse but get them pinned on straight and then sew them on and they are on the piss 😖

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

What do we feel is more fitting for a Great War Military Police impression?

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

I MAY have picked up a Military foot Police cap badge.

Dam I guess I need to look for the rest of it now!

Ovilliers Cemetery, Mash Valley. The white chalk marks in the plough is the German Front line. Of interest to me is my Gt Uncle went 'over the top' here on 1/7/16 with 2 West Yorks. He was lucky, many were not, some of his comrades now lie here forever.

The armoured cruiser Georgios Averof under tow in 2017. Such a wonderful sight! #history

[The Red Cap @TheRedCap55]

Might as well use this time wisely!

I hope it straight.

With this self isolation is at very dangerous thing, I've just started my spreadsheet for what I need for my WW1 British Military Police impression.
