Graham Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi I would like to know the colour of WW1 British troops uniform as worn between 1914-1918 on the Western Front. A colour reference number or where I could get/buy a sample of cloth would be very helpful. I need to know the colour so that I can paint/glaze my ceramic portraits of WW1 characters. Cheers.

Runflat Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't know about a colour reference (other than khaki) but your local regimental museum may be able to show you the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Colours tended to change with the batch. then with wear , dirt mud and fading you get all sorts of shades. Soldier of Fortune are doing good repros at the moment.Try photos on this site. http://www.actofwar.co.uk/essex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
