Kilties in the Great War

[SergeantFirstClass]

In response to a previous post, most were not issued a sporran and the ones that were issued them were Sr. Officers. The sporrans from that era that I have seen had no pocket anyway as with the current hair sporrans that are issued to the enlisted. I have seen an officer's sporran that did have a pocket but it was quite small and of little use. They were, however, issued a grey canvas cover for their kilt with a large pocket on the front. It wrapped around front to back and connected on the side.
