HAPPENINGS.
·AS SEEN · BY
THE CAMERA'S EYE
SOLDIERS OF TO-MORROW
THE soldier of the future, when in action, will look either like a mountaineer or a mechanic.
As shown in these plotures, he will have no baitons to polish and will carry a pack of little more than half the weight piled on the backs of the men who went to war between 1914 and 1918,
The reason is the change de- nanded by the intensive mechani- sation of all branches of the modern-- Army.
Two new types of uniform, which are to be teled out by every Com- mand, at home and overseas during the coming training season, were shown for the first time yesterday.
Thicks "mannequins"* of the Army's dress reform paraded recent- ly at the Central Becruiting Depot, Great Scotland Yard, 8.W., while re- crults looked on in bewilderment at the latest "creations."
One design makes the soldier look like a "farmer's boy." It consists of a pudding-basin, or "deer-stalker's " hat, loose-fitting sports-type Jacket and shirt that can be worn with or without a tie.
Sports Outfit
The trousers are of a loose-cut. sporting type and with them are worn six-inch gniters easily fixed with three clips.
This is intended to appeal to the diminishing number of foot-sloggers.
An alternative is the two-piece affair, in the style of a mechanic's overalls, with a "zipp" fastener blouse and skl-ing trousers buckled at the ankle.
For the soft hat a "forage cap,” such as is worn by airmen of the E.A.F., is substituted,
Both uniforms are made of a now cotton-texture material known as "denim,"
La which considerably lighter than the ordinary khaki.
Six different shades of khaki are being tried in the now uniforms which are Intended solely as the "training" and "zellon” dress of the now Army.
Heavy greatcoats And other articles which the old-time soldier carried will in futura be taken for him to the scene of action by his regimental transport loreles.
In the ploture below one of the uniforme is being inspected by journalists and War Offer guests.
