August 190 in AHQ Riyadh the Brits were all wearing European DMP, as at that time there was no UK Desert Kit available ( allegedly sold to the Iraqi's).
Questions from our ex-colonial cousins as to why we Brits thought it was a good idea to fight a desert war dressed as trees, was countered by the response was that they were to do the desert fighting, while our plan was to fight in the oases. Mostly they believed it!!
