Collar dogs were invariably worn on the temperate climate uniform, drab wool service dress (SD) at that time (post-1924), but not so regularly on khaki drill (KD), the stout cotton uniform worn in warm weather stations. Later on there was more consistency and by the mid-1930s collar badges could be seen on both.
