WW2 British Army MKVII Waterproof Cape / Ground Sheet 1945 WD
WW2 British Army rain cape.
MKVII British Army olive drab, waterproof cape/pad. This is a cape/pad made from rubberised cotton fabric.
The British Army soldier wore a cape/pad in the field, which was issued from 1917 until the 1960s.
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, but was never used.
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.
Issued to soldiers to keep them dry, it was worn on the outside of a small rucksack when not worn.
The MKVII cape buttons up at the front and has a large collar to keep the water out.
You can also build a shelter to stay dry in the field.
