KHAKI (from Urdu khak, dust)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 770 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHAKI (from Urdu khak, dust) , originally a dust-coloured fabric, of the
character
  of canvas,
drill
  or holland, used by the British and native armies in India. It seems to have been first worn by the Guides, a mixed
regiment
  of frontier troops, in 1848, and to have spread to other regiments during the following years. Some at any rate of the British troops had uniforms of khaki during the Indian Mutiny (1857-58), and thereafter
drill
  or holland (generally called " khaki " whatever its colour) became the almost universal dress of British and native troops in
Asia
  and Africa. During the
South
 
African
  War of 1899-1902, drill of a sandy shade of
brown
  was worn by all troops sent out from
Great
  Britain and the Colonies. Khaki drill, however, proved unsuitable material for the cold weather in the uplands of
South
  Africa, and after a time the troops were supplied with dust-coloured serge uniforms. Since 1900 all drab and green-grey uniforms have been, unofficially at any rate, designated khaki.
