My fading recollection was that your dress of the day resuted from budget/tailor/batman/laundry/starch merchant. Footwear was either polished black/desert boots/flying boots/batman. IIRC the only attire that was sort-of-standard was mess kit - but that could vary from cheap white denim to sharkskin. Nobody gave a monkeys! I once recall returning to Aden after a spot of leave with my new, expensive Hush-Puppies ( to be worn with cavalry twills of course), only to find that batman (Ghaleb) had given them a decent coat of brown polish the morning after. Happy days.
TM - PM me with your more specifics: I have many recollections - and lots from Aden/Bahrain/Chivenor/Valley - and a few from WR.
