Although still being worn on Parade by the Regiment today this dress was a fighting uniform a century ago. Full dress as a field uniform had already begun to disappear on the battlefield at the time it was adopted  by the 48th Highlanders in 1892. The Regiment wore this uniform in the field until the early 1900s when the cost of its upkeep and changes in equipment restricted its wearing to Parade Square. In the field troops wore Marching Order which would have included knapsack, mess tin, blanket, canteen and haversack to carry the spare clothes, food and water to sustain operations in the field.
