Bad Lad's Army II
The popular series for ITV 1 looking at National Service in Britain during the 1950s once again taking 30 'Bad Lads' to see if the old saying, "Stick 'em in the Army - that'll sort 'em out!" was true.
Historical Advice:
Historical Adviser: Taff Gillingham
Taff was the Historical Adviser for the series and was responsible for ensuring that all the period details were correct and was on hand throughout to give historical advice as and when it was needed.
Uniforms and Equipment:
Once again, in order to create the whole experience it was necessary to equip each of the volunteers with every item of clothing and equipment that a soldier of 1955 would have had. As a great deal does not exist much had to made from scratch. Uniforms, Equipment and Stores were sourced in a very short space of time. Khaki Devil created a complete working Quartermaster's Store which was correct in every detail. This enabled the kit to be issued properly and any damages to be replaced in the proper manner throughout the series.
Specialist Extras:
We also provided a small group of men to act as Quartermasters throughout the project who lived amongst the 'Lad's' and were on hand 24/7 to provide kit and advice when the Lads needed it.
