EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative advertisement from 1915 showcases the Turnbull and Asser oilskin combination poncho and ground-sheet, a vital piece of equipment for soldiers enduring the wet and rainy conditions of the Western Front during World War I. The image depicts a soldier, huddled in the trench, using the poncho as a makeshift shelter while the ground-sheet lies spread out beneath him. The oilskin material, known for its waterproof and rainproof properties, protected the soldiers from the elements, ensuring they remained dry and comfortable in the muddy and unforgiving trenches. The poncho also served as a cape, shielding the soldier's back from the rain. The combination of the poncho and ground-sheet proved to be an essential piece of kit for soldiers during this period, providing them with much-needed respite from the harsh weather conditions that were a constant challenge in the trenches. This advertisement is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and hardships faced by the soldiers during the First World War.
