Aldershot, Hampshire. 1914 – A formal group photograph of British army soldiers belonging to Section, ‘F’ Company, Royal Army Medical Corps at Redan Hill Fort, Aldershot, Hampshire in 1914. Apart from the Sergeant, who is wearing standard Khaki uniform and one other who is wearing civilian clothing, the rest are all dressed in blue serge temporary uniforms, known as ‘Kitchener blues’. As a result of the War Office's failure to obtain a sufficient quantity of standard khaki uniforms in the opening weeks of the First World War, this alternative was introduced as an emergency measure.
