Khaki Kapers is a 1943 Australian stage revue.[1]

The 1943 production in Hobart featured RAAF airman Don Sharp who appeared in the sketch "An Airman's Letter" which featured a flag that flew over the Australian base in Singapore which had been returned by Sharp.[2][3][4]

The Hobart Mercury reported "There is not a dull moment in the show, which combines action with beautiful scenes, and elaborate costuming. The cast would do credit to any Mainland production."[5] The show was called "the most successful musiëal revue presented in Hobart for several years."[6]

The same title was used for a 1941 revue performed in Port Moresby.[7]

There was a revival in 1952.[8]
