Malaya Today, Picture Set D, no. 10: Uniforms of the Federation Regiment (Chinese photo poster distributed in Malaya)
Three standing soldiers in a studio photograph: left in outing dress, centre in white ceremonial dress, right in field kit with rifle and pouches. The Chinese caption names the three orders of dress. The sheet argues nothing beyond display. The tell is card-stacking: the forces are presented only through neat, uniform appearance.
