The MK VII Groundsheet (Rain Cape / Poncho) was introduced in October of 1917. This is the same design as the MK V with the addition of a collar, triangular front and button closure. As with the MK V these are made from the original instructions and an original in our collection. These were again used unchanged through WW2. These are correct in Pattern and design and not bad copies of Postwar Dutch capes as others have sold. Toss that nasty green cape for a proper one!
