My grandfather (the Colonel) was a book publisher in civilian life. He published a book by Lt. St-Claire from the British artillery at Tobruk. The Lieutenant was captured and held in hospitals and POW camps after being wounded at Tobruk.
The book makes a point that when the fighting started, he was wearing civy silk pyjamas. But once the fighting started he changed into khaki. When he was captured, he had lost his shirt and was outfitted with new kit after capture.
