There has been a lot of discussion on the TT Forum about whether M42s were ever worn with combat boots, and also if M42s were worn late in the war (1945 era). The photo above left shows Captain Jack Thornton (in coveralls), with 1st Sgt Bezich (3/501),in England before Market Garden. During this awkward period, jump boots had been recalled and M43's had not yet been issued, resulting in the ugly mix of M42's and combat boots.
Sgt Burnside of 2/502 was photographed (upper right), at Ruhpolding, Germany in May, 1945, wearing his old reinforced jumpsuit with combat boots. This gives evidence that some nice M42 suits were still being worn near VE-Day, including some rigger-modified suits.
