Umbrellas and khaki seem a most unlikely combination; yet ono instance is recorded of British soldiers taking their umbrellas into action. On December 10, 1813, during the battle of the Nive, the Grenadier Guards captured a redoubt outside Bayonno. Whilst they were in possession of this Wellington passed by and noticed that tho officers had umbrellas up to protect ■ themselves from the heavy rains.
