Clothing

It was decided that no shorts would be taken into the malarious areas and that ‘longs’ would be worn by day and by night. Gaiters were to be put on and sleeves rolled down before dusk. (For lack of shorts the men simply wore underpants, so that provision of shorts for wear in the daytime would have been preferable.)
