do you watch Foyle's War? Why does "Sam" have her Army jacket buttoned on the man's side?
When watching a DVD of Foyle's War, I noticed the "Sam" (the military driver for Foyle the police officer, buttons up her khaki soldier's jacket on the man's side -ie left over right, instead of right over left.
Is that a mistake, or did women soldiers in World War II button their jackets in this way?
And, in the episode titled "In the Bleak Mid Winter", the man who murdered his girlfriend goes to her funeral with his overcoat buttoned on the woman's side, ie, right over left.
Please can explain these two anomalies? Thanks!

Hi Deborah!
It's more then likely that this is Not an error or over sight in the production. Women were subject to men's military attire during WW1 and WW2.
I have provided you with a FREE link so you can compare and contrast if you wish.

Hope you find this information both helpful and interesting. I know I did.
Take Care !!
