Can anybody please tell me if the occupations of White Smith and Gun Maker are connected in any way. Also what was a Grey Cloth salesman - yes i know it speaks for itself, but why only sell Grey cloth, is it anything to do with the forces? many thanks maureen |

Grey cloth is still the same today - unfinished cloth which is sold on to the printers/dyers. Anne |
