Take your tunic off and just wear shirt sleeves and tough it out with the trou.

Although it might have been hot in the day it would obviously get cold at night and if you were sleeping outdoors you'd be glad of a nice warm wool set.

Stepping into a tent and changing for the occasion is a luxury those boys didn't have.

Springerhosen are not too bad to wear in hot weather, firstly its a natural fabric, so it breathes, they are baggy and you can open the openings at the side of the knee for circulation!
