Aldershot, Hampshire. 1914 – British army soldiers of the Regimental Barber Shop, ‘F’ Company, Royal Army Medical Corps at Redan Hill Fort, Aldershot in 1914. The men are posing with their dog mascot in front of a bell tent. Some of the soldiers are wearing standard Khaki with Regimental Police armbands. The rest are wearing temporary blue serge 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.
