Legacy
Belgian special forces units serving with the British during the Second World War included the Belgian Special Air Service. On their return to Belgium after the war, the unit (and its successors) continued to wear the Denison Smock, with the design following a separate evolutionary path there (M54 in Moon and Balls pattern, M56 in Belgian brushstroke pattern, and M58 in jigsaw pattern ).
The French SAS wore the Denison while fighting with Free French Forces to liberate France, and continued to wear it immediately after the War whilst in Indochina, along with surplus British M42 Windproof smocks and overtrousers (see above).
