Default Smokey at the Savio

As I mentioned in a past thread,my dad was ordered to bring Smokey back friom the lines after the battle,and all he wanted was a cup of tea as he was riding up front with dad in the CMP,which dad obliged,by stopping at the first NAAFI that he came across.But there's one thing that's been puzzling me for years.Dad mentioned that Smokey didn't look like a hero,but an ordinary infantryman.And,as he said,and I quote to the nearest of my memory,"He was all dirty and was wearing a pair of coveralls".The coveralls part has me confused.Does anyonr have any opinion on this?

Rest in Peace Smokey
