IN response Mr Peter Pink's letter "Dress Code" (April 7), actor Tom Wisdom is, in fact, wearing his Sam Browne equipment properly in the Grand Opera House production of Journey's End, although badly adjusted.

I refer Mr Pink to the List Of Changes Volume III, 1900-1910, which clearly shows the original layout of the equipment and, yes, the pistol case is on the correct side.

In later years officers wore their equipment in a variety of ways, particularly on active service. But Mr Wisdom's equipment is perfectly acceptable. Be warned Mr Pink, there is always someone out there who can be even more pedantic than you.
