Lloydy,

 

Drop me a PM with your email and I'll send you some interesting scans from the QM Catalog about them. I've also transcribed the relevant sections from the Tents and Tent Pitching manual on our website:

Hopefully, the above will be of some use to you. I didn't forget about the measurements for the markings, by the way, just give me a few days

 

Cheers,

Ben.

Hi Lloyd,

 

I've got a bit of a tentage obsession and have collected some photos of small walls.

 

(speaking of a tent age obsession: that massive battalion set on Fury had a couple good bits of WWII canvas)

OH i know Rob.....the tank park canvas set was awesome on FURY...if not a little muddy and wet...and full of great Cloverleafs..:-) and boxes as i recall...

I must say that the tent bug that bit Rob is the same one that bit me!

 

Here's a couple of vintage pictures that are probably pre-war of a semi-permanent tent city.

 

The first is a cozy officer's quarters from the outside and the second is a shot of all the comforts of home on the inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Lloyd do you still have that Officer's Bedding Roll that you got from me ages ago?
