This is for Pat 33,Group 1 - 1940 fashions. The coat image was found online and shows the padded shoulders so prevalent in 40's fashions. In fact the same coat is worn by my mother in 1943, on their honeymoon in England. The camouflage flower is added for my father's benefit as a Canadian soldier.

Oh Norma, this is simply wonderful. Is that really your mama and dad? I remember that time with the padded shoulders and stuff, and having the real picture makes it more special. I know someone who is going to love having this one. MEEEEEE!

That's my folks Sybil. They were on their honeymoon in March 1943, married in Hastings and went to London for a few days. 10 months later I was their Christmas present, but I never met my dad until I was almost two. He was sent to Italy and Sicily.
