WW1 British '02 Pattern Service Tunic - Border Regiment With Identified Wearer

A WW1 British four pocket service tunic of the wartime 1902 pattern in very good condition with 'Borders' shoulder titles to each shoulder. Serial numbered to interior initial research has discovered that this relates to 'Joseph MILLER' of the 2/4th Border regiment.
This is a tunic that has clearly seen WW1 service & is presented as found with its period placed blue embroidered overseas service chevron to lower right sleeve & service chevron to left. Two rank stripes to each arm denote a Lance Corporal. Border regiment shoulder titles to each side.
Two brass belt equipment hooks are , as expected , stitched into waist with the instantly recognisable two dart stitching to upper breast/collar area. This changed to only one dart in 1918 firmly dating this to a wartime manufacture. Other classic period features are its off white cotton drill lining to interior with strip backing for the top pockets ( denoting mid to late manufacture ) & field dressing pocket to lower right side.
All buttons are brass General Service & appearing to be original to the tunic.
Condition is overall very good for a scarce tunic of this now sought after period which displays very well with belt equipment .
