About this item
A scarce original 1917 Pattern MK VII British Army Rain Cape dated 1940 and named to LR Robertson.
This pattern of raincape was introduced in mid 1917 and stayed in service until 1941 when it was replaced with the tan version. The cape was designed to be worn over the soldiers uniform and equipment in wet weather and could also be used as a shelter half. Introduced in the Great War, this pattern was still in use in the 1950s, albeit in OD green by that stage.
This is a rare piece of BEF period British Army kit which is a must have for the serious collector. Not only is it 1940 dated but it is named, offering scope for further research. ?Could speculate it was potentially used during Dunkirk exacuation!!
