The boots seen worn in this photograph were known as ‘Scramble Boots’ being standard Army leather boots fitted with cleats for climbing and three point stud used on the sole which I read originated with the Romans! When we started Commando Training we were issued with this type of boot. Also a Cap Comforter, Dennison Smock (mine dated from 1943 and was ragged), a Field ‘38:Pattern Fighting Order, an ‘A’ Frame Rucksack, short Puttees, and Cotton, feather filled Sleeping Bag with no item waterproof. Happy Days!
