History

In the early days of the organisation, uniforms were only loosely based on a general common pattern. Standardisation was achieved in 1933 in a regulation from August 10.

The Service Tunic was specified in a regulation from October 10, 1933. It is dark blue and was worn during travel or in the winter months (October 15 to April 14). It has five front buttons and is closed on the left side. There are two breast pockets with flaps, with one button on each pocket.
