"SWAGGER" UNIFORM FOR

THE BRITISH ARMY

THE ARMY is to have a new "off duty" uniform-brighter,

smarter, and more comfortable.

An Army order has been issued granting permission to all ranks to wear blue patrol uniform while out of barracks or on Jeave.

This new uniform consists of smart dark blue serge trousers and high-collared tunic with brass buttons.

A dark blue cap of the Air Force type will be worn, with the badge of the regiment on it..

It is stated in certain quarters that this is the first step towards a return to the old "walking out" uniform of pro-war days.

·

Since then soldiers have worn either civilian clothes, or khaki with puttees and heavy Army boots.

It is believed that this move will help the large-scale recruiting drive for the Territorial Army which opena in the New Year.

The commander, who partici pated in 26 air raids over Grent Britain during the World War, said the Zeppelin never again will be a serious menace during war.

It is probable that the present government, which has strong mon- archical leanings, will raise no objection, and that the heads of the two dethroned dynasties, Prince Bonaparte and Archduke Oito, will soon be able to exchange courtesion over the matter.
