Raz Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I've just started researching an uncle of mine who was a POW. He was captured in Singapore thensent to work on the death railways. This is the only pic I currently have of him, what kind of uniform is he wearing, looks tropical to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Alexander Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 This is the O.G. (Olive Green) tropical uniform made from cotton. You notice how the jacket is lighter than the pants. This is because it was normally worn with shorts and the jacket and shorts went to the dhobi-wallah (laundry) more often than the long pants which were worn a lot less often.
