Description

British Dorset Trenchman costume from Warhorse. British Dorset Trenchman costume from Warhorse. (DreamWorks, 2011) A British infantryman's uniform worn in the Steven Spielberg Oscar-nominated wartime drama War Horse. The base uniform consists of a P1902 jacket with First Dorset division patch, red diamond and two yellow bar patches, a pair of trousers, woolen putties and a pair of ammunition boots. In addition it also features a set of P1908 equipment consisting of a belt, cross straps, ammunition pouches, bayonet frog, small pack, groundsheet, entrenching tool cover, mess kit pouch and water bottle with carrier, as well as a MK1 steel helmet with hessian cover with matching patches to the jacket. The small pack and mess kit pouch are foam-filled to prevent injury during filming, while ammunition pouches are filled with solid plastic wedges made to the same size as five-round .303 strip clips. The entire costume is in a production-distressed condition with some missing buttons and mud remnants on various garments from its time on the wet sets.
