    Many of the 'first 100,000' (volunteers - Kitchener's Blues) trained in old dark blue uniforms until they were supplied the proper kit. I would recommend the book 'The First Hundred Thousand' by Ian Hay. First published 1917. Its pretty funny in places.

      The blue uniforms were made of serge material. Later a large number of them were shipped to Germany as clothing for British POWs.
