Battledress has embroidered East Riding Yeomanry shoulder titles to each shoulder with patches of the 4th Armoured brigade & red & yellow Royal Armoured Corps arm of service strips to each arm. Drivers qualification badge handsewn to left sleeve with white battalion lanyard to right side. Greatcoat has all brass reconnaissance buttons with 1940 dated clothing label still present & RAC arm of service strips to each arm.
This battledress belonged to a Trooper of the ERY serving with 4th Armoured Brigade at that time. It is known that 1st ERY served with this brigade in NW Europe & so with the man name & service number there is certainly full research potential.
Overall excellent condition with a few only very minor nips discoverable upon close inspection.
