World War I soldiers carried capes primarily for protection against the elements. These capes, often made of waterproof or water-resistant materials, provided warmth and shelter from rain and cold, crucial in the trench warfare conditions. Additionally, they served as a versatile piece of equipment that could be used for various purposes, such as a ground cover or makeshift blanket.
