I think you will like it. Now you can pass it on to those nearest and dearest to you or at least at the nearest Pub...  |

Nope! It would be a good idea for all those joining to make one and take it with them. They might not need it but it is better to have it in case they do.
Do not take any instruments with you. There will be time to collect them on your first leave if you do need them/ want them. You will be issued with any instruments as and when you need them.

Button sticks are no longer used. They were for sliding behind brass buttons to protect the uniform fabric when polishing them
A Housewife is a sewing kit, needle, threads, spare buttons... anything you need to make urgent repairs.
