History
Introduced in 1942 for British airborne forces' Denison smocks, with early examples painted by hand before screen printing took over. It was worn at Normandy and Arnhem and stayed with paras, commandos and snipers for decades. The smock soldiered on into the 1970s, and its brushstroke style fathered DPM.
In the field
Effective in northwest-European hedgerow and woodland; its brushstroke DNA runs straight into DPM.
