British Guiana Militia uniforms WW2?
« on: July 09, 2011, 10:05:00 AM »
Hello,
    an obscure topic, but does anyone know what uniform was worn early WW2?

I believe it was shirt , shorts, puttees, sidecap and 1908 webbing.

I haven't been able to find any photos.

That would make sense. Its succesor the British Guiana Volunteer force was dressed in khaki shorts puttees and bush jackets.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks for replying Carlos, i've seen that link you provided,although i'm guessing about the 1908 webbing, but as the Indian army wore it, i would assume the BGM would as well.

Pete.
