Highland Regiments footwear during the Great War

[Bruce Scott]

From a discussion I recall on the Great War Forum, B2 brown boots were introduced in 1913 and the B5 version, also brown, later in the war. Two pairs were issued and, in some units, the second pair was blackened for parade use and walking out.

For further information it may be worthwhile asking the question on that forum, here: https://www.greatwarforum.org/
