The [[Somaliland Camel Corps]], also referred to as the Somali Camel Corps, was a unit of the [[British Army]] based in British Somaliland. It lasted from the early 20th century until 1944. The troopers of the Somaliland Camel Corps had a distinctive dress. It was based on the standard British Army [[khaki drill]] but included a knitted woollen pullover and drill patches on the shoulders. Shorts were worn with woollen socks on [[puttees]] and "chaplis", boots or bare feet. Equipment consisted of leather ammunition [[bandolier]] and a leather waist belt. The officers wore [[pith helmets]] and khaki drill uniforms. Other ranks wore a "kullah" with "[[pagri (turban)|puggree]]" which ended in a long tail which hung down the back.<ref>Mollo, p. 139</ref> A "chaplis" is typically a colourful sandal. A "kullah" is a type of cap. A "puggree" is typically a strip of cloth wound around the upper portion of a hat or helmet, particularly a pith helmet, and falling down from behind to act as a shade for the back of the neck.
