Title: Camp paraphenalia?
Post by: Hammers on 18 July 2010, 11:17:54 AM

Anyone's got a good resource for colours, patterns and looks for things like tents, blankets, stretchers as provided by His Majesty George V?

You people must be studiously ignoring me because I do not for one minute believe you are ignorant in this area.  >:D

Judy Garland posters available here: http://www.allposters.com/-st/Judy-Garland-Posters_c66614_.htm

Smoking jacket, Audrey Hepburn length cigarette holder and dangly earrings you'll have to source yourself.  :D

I suspect Liza was around sometime about the start of the 20th C, her mother probably dates to Roman times. It's quite amazing what a little moisturiser can do.

No, not at all.  I'm looking for illustrations and photographs of what stretchers, blankets, tents etc. looked like. In colour where possible.

So, something more like this, then (sorry it's all black and white, but that's the nature of the thing, innit?):

This website has colour photos showing camp life in WWI, but primarily French and American.  Still, might give you some ideas:

Also, check out some of the reenactors' sites.  They generally try to get things right.

Isn't there an Osprey that deals with this?
