| Description |
English: British soldier wrapped up against the cold, Western Front, during World War I. The British soldier in this photograph is sitting in the snow in a wood. He does not have his rifle or other equipment and it appears to be a posed shot to show how he is dressed. Over his uniform jacket, he is wearing an animal-skin waiscoat with the hair side out. This may be one of the goatskin jackets issued in 1915. These gave a bit of additional warmth but quickly got wet through and became very smelly. The uniform at the beginning of the war was not suitable for the varied weather conditions of such a long, static conflict. After the failure of the normal greatcoats and the goatskin jackets, sleeveless leather waistcoats with a warm cloth lining were issued in 1916. These proved more suitable and remained in use. Many men also added extra non-uniform jumpers, scarves and gloves. |
