I know it is an old story, but remember the annual kit muster in the barrack block (RAF). Airmen had to lay out all their kit on a bed in the barracks room, the bed itself made with a bedding block and kit mustered against a photograph plan.
Married men in quarters had to bring all their kit in too.
My uncle's discharge book, Australian Military Force, showed 3 or drawers cotton issued but only 2 mustered on 18 Sep 1945. He might have been wearing the other.
