  • Hello,
    For those of you who have been waiting, here it is. Part 2 of my videos of the British Soldier on the Western Front, a part of my British Infantryman series. This particular video covers the uniform and equipment changes from 1915 - 1918 but doesn't cover all of the Anti-Gas Equipment changes as that is an entire topic of its own.
    Hope you enjoy,
    Matthew,

    interesting about the leather webgear being cheaper back then. i imagine it would be the opposite nowadays.

    The PVC jerkin was still in use on Royal Observer Corps "cold weather" posts up until the ROC was stood down on 30th September 1991. I'll confess that I found them a bit stiff and impractical and suspect that the leather version would have been more effective.

    For a theatrical production we rented some ww1 uniforms and and there was something like the modified ground sheet you showed. It had a rubberised outer and a lining that felt rather like corduroy. Warmest, most useful thing.
    Are you familiar with such an item? I’m wondering if I can find any more information.

      From what what you've told me, it sounds more like a Private Purchase Officers Raincape. However, I shall have a look around and do some research and if anything matches it, I shall let you know. However, like I said, it sounds to me like a private purchase item.
