Amongst Clyde's military items were these metal shirt buttons. Admittedly at first glance they look quite plain, but once you are in the know about what these buttons can do you can then only think how extremely clever and amazing they are.

LH button is shown on the reverse side, RH button is the way it would be sewn
onto a garment.. |

LH button now shown the way it would be sewn onto a garment, RH button
shown on the reverse side. |

Looking more closely you will see that this button, which was the LH button
has a spike on the reverse side. |

| Putting the RH button onto of the spike on the LH button the buttons become an ingenious compass. With the now top button rotating freely on the spike and the extra holes in the rim of the button indicating the direction. Shhhhhh, don't tell the enemy. |
