Hi, I am an art teacher desperately looking for an army costume for children to draw.
Please get in touch if you have one or pieces of one. I promise to take good care of it.

I did have my grandfather's battledress but I couldn't make out what was bullet holes or moth holes. Costumes are worn on Bonfire night. Uniform is worn by soldiers.

That's great, thank you for your response,
Could I please borrow it?

Thanks for your input 'hmm' but as stated in my advert, I only require this to draw and will need it for one day on 11th October.

@@@exsoldier I merely pointed out he has insulted the OP and accused her of being a bad teacher for using "did" she didn't use it, someone else did. How is that pedantic, I'm stating a glaring fact not splitting hairs.

Yes I am a joy to live with, when I see someone picking on someone else for something they didn't do I point it out. All part of being a decent person? You call people pedantic and say flawed, how is it flawed, she didn't say "did" colonel bogey did...

You did use the word "did", Maureen did not.

And yet another thread on this lovely forum descends into arguments and pathetic attempts at humour .
Someone only wanted to borrow a costume so their kids can paint it and hopefully learn something about the great war.
