Khaki Aprons circa World War I

Certainly... I didn't mean to say that they ALL came from the Natal Native Contingent. Just that there were quite a few. Nor did I mean to imply that many of these guys would have been in the Zulu War of 1879 - that's ~20 years before as you know, and I simply meant to say they were similar units.



I think we should be careful about implying that South Africans=Boers... the Boers were the descendants of the Dutch immigrants to South Africa. As you're pointing out, some South Africans were (and indeed still are) of other descent.

Sorry, jfellrath -- I misunderstood what you were "saying" in that post! ;)

I own several Farwell books myself! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

I have not seen one, but reproductions of the kilt apron are available on the What Price Glory site:

actually, I'm surprised that nobody has picked up on the market for a contemporary apron. I'll do yardwork in my sportkilt, not in my wool kilt.
