The idea for this project came about after seeing Matthew Williamson’s post on Facebook on the Second Boer War Re-enactment page. He took the “Boer War” What Price Glory tunic and reworked it into a proper Pattern 1896 khaki drill tunic.

The What Price Glory tunic is based on the Pattern 1906 khaki drill tunic and needs some alterations to be used for Boer War re-enactments. I figured I could draw upon the talents of my well known tailors (ie, my mom and sister) to duplicate Matthew’s project.
