British Army Uniforms.

[20th Division]

I'm doing some family research and, "when I were a wee lad" I can remember a very formidable great aunt of mine telling me that she used to make the Khaki british army uniforms. This great aunt lived in BOW, London--close to Gunmakers lane and near Victoria park. Anyone any ideas about where she may have worked?---or was she spinning a gullible young'un a yarn? I'd be interested to know that if a local factory was identified, could it still be located?

Thanks. Dave

Dave it would have been the Royal Army Clothing Depot (RACD) at Pimlico.

Thanks for that info ---from what I read I assume that my Great Aunt was an outworker.

Appreciate the link---"thanks". Dave.

Yes, she would almost certainly have been an outworker.
