High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! British Army uniform and equipment in World War I according to the British official historian Brigadier James Edward Edmonds recorded in 1925, that "The British Army of 1914, was the best trained best equipped and best organized British Army ever sent to war".They were the only army to wear any form of a camouflage uniform; the value of drab clothing was quickly recognised by the British Army, who introduced khaki drill for Indian and colonial warfare from the mid-19th century on. As part of a series of reforms following the Second Boer War, a darker khaki serge was adopted in 1902, for service dress in Britain itself. On the whole, the British military authorities showed more foresight then their French counterparts, who retained highly visible blue coats and red trousers for active service until several months into World War I. The soldier was issued with the 1908 pattern webbing for carrying personnel equipment and he was armed with the Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle.
