In addition to army uniforms we had civilian clothes and passports for when we visited neutral countries. One funny event was being in the capital of Argentina on their Independence Day in about 1943 or 1944. Their army was marching down the avenue in standard German-type uniforms and goose-stepping, and there I was, an ordinary British squaddie, standing on the kerb just watching!
