Grovetown Posted 21 February , 2020 Share Posted 21 February , 2020 He's wearing what is known as 'Kitchener Blue', an emergency uniform issued to new recruits early in the war until supplies of serge Service Dress caught up with demand.

Nayten Posted 21 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 21 February , 2020 Thanks for the info! I initially thought it was hospital garments but knew it couldn’t be as he was injured in 1916. thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovetown Posted 21 February , 2020 Share Posted 21 February , 2020 Pleasure. Hospital blues quite a different and distinct uniform, regardless of date. Cheers, GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 21 February , 2020 Share Posted 21 February , 2020 Isn`t that the uniform the men disliked because it made them look like postmen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Phil, it was indeed Kitchener Blue that some men derided as like a Postman’s outfit. Edited 21 February , 2020 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
