Hello,
I have looked around and though I can find several mentions of cotton drill, I can't find anything that explains what cotton drill is. The reason I ask is that my mother (bless her heart) got me a pattern for drawers for my b-day. It recommends using cotton drill. I also recently read an excerpt from "where they fell" that was a veterans advice to new recruits. One of the things mentioned was getting a piece of "brown drill" to put between yourself and the blanket. He states that it does not add much weight or take up space but doubles the comfort on cooler nights.
So, I guess after all this is really two questions: what is cotton drill and has anyone ever heard or read about this veteran's advice anywhere else?
Any light that can be shed on this will render me forever grateful.
