WHAT DOES BATTLE DRESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Battle Dress

Battledress was the specific title of a military uniform adopted by the British Army in the late 1930s and worn until the 1960s. Several other nations also introduced variants of Battle Dress during the Second World War, including Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States of America and after the Second World War, including Argentina, Belgium, Norway, the Netherlands, and Greece. Battledress, or later No. 5 Uniform, was the combat uniform worn by British Commonwealth and Imperial forces and many Free European Forces through the Second World War. It was worn mostly but not exclusively in temperate climates. In some armies it continued in use into the 1970s. During the Second World War and thereafter this uniform was also used for formal parades until the re-introduction of separate parade uniforms in the late 1950s.
