I think that the "bespoke"/non standard uniforms of Montgomery, Patton and others were also partly an attempt at morale boosting in Wartime to a certain extent. When we look back on it today some of the outfits worn by Churchill, perhaps, look almost comical but I think his intentions were an attempt to boost morale.

I can only say it was a large format Colliers (USA) volume on the Boer War, printed during or very soon after the war. The photo may well have been taken earlier of course as B-P was involved in Southern Africa for some years I believe.
