Cdn camouflage netting ww11

[r.morrison]

Gentlemen: I'm looking for the pattern and colors for WW11Canadian Camo Netting. I checked on this subject with earlier conversations on the forum and the only pictures provided were of American camo netting. Were Canadian and British the same or did we follow the American Pattern. Photographs would be appreciated. Cheers for your time....Robert

Hi Robert, I have a net but no camoflague material on it(was going to make one). I also have a book from the war office that talkes all about camoflague, ill look for pivtures as I think it talkes about making nets from scratch.

Thanks Lew. Sounds like we're both in the same boat. I have the net but no pattern. Hessian/ burlap isn't a problem, just colors and pattern. You can send me photos to my email add
By the way, we just finished loading 2/ 40 ft containers coming to your town. My back and hernia will never be the same!! Thanks for your help....Robert

I have a copy of Military Training Pamphlet No 46 Camouflage Part 1. It has a description of the various options for nets and screens.

It has good details on how to garnish a net with hessian strips.
It includes the colours of the strips, and edge details, where the garnishing is thinned out so it doesn't cast a shadow at the edge. Also joining nets, such as the big artillery nets.

I will scan it at work and post images tomorrow.

Thanks Rob and Lew for your help in the matter. The attachments came through perfect. Now it's trying to find the time to do the "weaving"!!! Still checking out where I can source some similar netting and shall pass it on if it works out. Many cheers.....Robert
