Clothing Regulations Part I, issued by the British War Office in May 1914, is a valuable and detailed reference to the dress, equipment, and standards of the British Army on the eve of the First World War. Its regulations reveal the transition from traditional ceremonial uniforms to practical khaki service dress. Particularly useful are its descriptions of marching order, walking-out dress, Pattern 1908 equipment, boots, puttees, and regimental variations. This is an excellent source for understanding the appearance, equipment, and rapidly changing uniform practices of the British soldier in 1914.
