It is really dependant of where you were. If you were stationed in ole Blighty, then you could of feasibly been provided with full kit all the time. If you were trench side, then whatever the QM could supply or what you could scrounge. I would hazard a guess that once you were posted overseas, you would be wearing whatever the infantry wore, but replace the trousers with a kilt and kilt apron
