Ya, us hosers eh?
True that. There were plenty of instances of weird equipment used by all armies in WW2. I recently read an account from one of Monty's staff officers in Italy after watching a Canadian infantry attack go in near Ortona. The officer said Monty thought the Canadians attacked in fine style but complained on their "irregular dress". The officer claimed they were passed by Canadian soldiers, one sporting a bowler hat and another wearing a hockey jersey with FLIN FLON written on the front.




























With a birth handle like Flintabbatey Flonatin it's no small wonder he'd have shaken hands introducing himself as "Flin"!
