Brown boots with buckled leather spur protectors, tunic buttons appear to be early pattern black twisted leather type. Brass collar and shoulder strap badges. A green and white patch was worn on the upturn of the slouch hat, some reports state a large NIIY badge located in the middle of the patch (unconfirmed).
