Kilt in "War Horse"

[Joshua]

Dear All,

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a kilt apron? I have heard it once or twice referred to here.

My favorite photos of WWI are those of the kilted "Ladies from Hell". What it must have been to go through all of that in a kilt! As bad as it was to have had to go "over the top", I would not have wanted to be any of the Germans on the other side seeing them charge!

Your Obedient Servant,

Karl

The kilted regiments wore khaki skirts over their kilts to prevent water seepage and staining.

The term "Kilt Apron" can also mean the unpleated front of the kilt.

Thank you. that clears it up. I did know that the two unpleated parts at the front were called aprons but did not know the other meaning.
