| Undress uniform was replaced, in 1902, by khaki service dress and the khaki peaked cap introduced in 1905. The rifle regiments had black buttons instead of brass. The cap had a smart appearance because of the circular wire stiffener, but this was removed when the regiments reached the trenches to make the cap less visible.
