Is it a gunner's smock, is it an anti-gas parka? There are so many rumours and half truths around about these garments, and whilst I don't have any definitive answers I believe these were anti-gas parkas designed to fit over a gasmask - the ties around the neck are there to secure a tight fit around a gasmask. Either way, these are much in demand in any condition, let alone like this unissued.
