Later in the Second World War, the British soldier began to colour his original brown underlay, as it was very visible to the enemy, in either black or green, whichever was available.
Later, towards the end of the Second World War, an olive drab cape was issued and remained in military use until the 1960s.
This cape is an original from 1945, which was stored in the Greek Army in 1970.It could be used as: - waterproof underlay- protection to stay dry.- cape by buttoning up the front.
There are 8 holes along the perimeter of the underlay, it measures 185cm x 88cm plus additional collar cover over the flap. There are 4 buttons down the front and the centre of the back is slightly hollowed out to allow the carrying of a small rucksack.
