And I thought no one would know what a hussif was.
For the people who do not know, it was a cloth roll that contained needles , cotton , darning wool , buttons, etc. Officially known as Housewife, Airmen F.T U.OF. As we were issued with only two pairs of socks if nothing else we became efficient at darning.
To EXSCRBBLER. I would imagine I had to hand my hussif in , with my Smith and Wesson .38. morphine ampoule etc, at R.A.F Warton on demob.
BUTTON STICKS.? DURAGLIT ?
Get yer knees brown.
