2. On the march from April to No
vember, the entire clothing should be a
cotton flannel shirt with loosely button
ed collar, cotton drawers, wooden panta-
looms, shoes and stockings and light col
ored felt hat with broad brim to protect
the eyes and face from the glare of the
sun and from the rain, and a substantial
but not heavy coat when off duty.
