Austria Cotton
What Largely Replaced Cotton In WW1 Military Uniforms?

Archaeological evidence tells us it has been employed for thousands of years in Europe making cloth, fishing nets, & twine. Austria & Germany lacked sources of cotton after an economic blockade surrounded them. Science research
found a solution. Without systematic production Germany
collected 1,413 tons of the new fiber in 1915 & 2,976 in
1917. The British captured two such uniforms in 1917 and were surprized. What did English analysis reveal?
Clue:
On a related subject what event occurs on annual basis
at The Bottle Club, a pub in Marshwood, Dorset, England?

The German uniforms included fibre made from nettles.
The event you refer to is the nettle eating contest
