Dress

The troops were issued with drill shirts and shorts for wear during the daytime throughout the summer and long trousers for wear during the evenings. This dress proved very suitable in every way. Pith helmets were on issue on return from Crete, but the issue was not continued for the following summer as their use was found to be unnecessary.
