Molesworth a écrit :



When I joined the Army in 1962, I was issued (new) woolen skivvies and
undershirts with labels stating they were made in Australia in 1941.

In 1972, doing my compulsory 12 month military stint in France, I was
issued a (brand-new)1951 Jeep(mph and gallons !). As we were granted a
24h furlough every time we had driven 1000 kilometers, I had to convince
my (not too bright) company's quarter-master (?) I was entitled to one
even though the odometer had only registered 625 more units (and that
the tank was full when the fuel meter read 20!)
There was a rack at the back where we fitted a lamp radio set with a 120
V battery (same model as used in D-day)...
