In my never ending quest to find another unusual or at least interesting part of the Horology jig-saw, I search and scour every where.
While looking for pictures of WWI soldiers with a wristwatch I came across the below picture that amused me.
Not the fact that 'of course' a British Officer would (indeed must) be kitted out in a uniform by the likes of Saville Row.
BUT
UNDER it he can wear a Bullet Proof Jacket - it explains it can withstand (resist) a .455 British Revolver Bullet (why would a British Officer need protection from a British Revolver ?LOL?)
But also Protects the body from splinters and fragments of shells, spent bullets etc.
No mention of the Uniformed Soldier getting them.
Just a 'bit' amusing to me.
and the catch line:
'Always Correct in Every Detail' - Yes that's 'us BRITS
