WW2 Scottish 1940 Pattern Originally Badged Battledress - Scottish Command
WW2 British 1940 pattern originally badged battledress to a sergeant in the Scottish Command.
This battledress belonged to a Sergeant EJ Mills who , at aged 16 1/2 , joined 4th Batt'n the Kings Scottish Light Infantry in WW1 before re enlisting during WW2 as he was not , due to age , eligible for call-up .
His two WW1 ribbons of War & Victory medal are visible to right breast along with that of his WW2 Defence & War medal. A wartime cotton printed lion on red patch to each arm denotes Scottish Command with sergeant chevrons also to each. The lanyard going into his left brest pocket was in situ when I acquired the BD . The intact clothing label gives a Size 9 with Glasgow clothiers 'Black & Co' . date is faint although appears to be '43.
Overall in excellent condition with only one or two minor pinprick moth holes discoverable only upon close inspection.
