Thought Umbrellas UnmiIitary.

Umbrellas and khaki seem most
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action, &C
cording to the London Chronicle. On
December 10, 1913, during the battle OF
the Nive, the Grenadier guards cap
tured redoubt outside Bayonne
While they were in possession of this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp,
Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that
the duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may, il they pleace, carry UNI
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at st. James, but in the field it is not
only ridiculous, but unmilitary.
