Note
Just like your soldiers, when one wearing armour dies, the armour's gone for good. So the only way to keep from losing armour is to keep your soldiers alive.
In addition, if you're unhappy with the performance of your soldiers and decide to have them sacked, be sure to remove the armour before doing so. If you do not then the disgruntled soldier will take the suit home with them and you will not see it again.
