Origin Of The Khaki Uniform
Khaki originated in British India in 1848 when Sir Henry Burnett Lumsden equipped a guides corps. The cloth was light cotton drill from the Urdu word khaki dust and later included woolens. The United States adopted khaki for Cuba and the Philippines during the Spanish American War. The piece ends with a rural English belief about brides addressing husbands by name before speaking.
