WW2 British Royal Sussex Lieutenant Colonel Battledress ACF

An interesting 1942 dated battledress to a Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Sussex serving with the Army Cadet Force .
Immediately apparent on this battledress are the presence of an impressive array of medal ribbons denoting WW1 service & the award of the Military Cross as well as the 1914-15 Star , War medal & Victory medal ( With removed MID leaf ) .
The medals beneath this are Defence , Cadet Forces medal ( For twelve years service Inst. 1951 ) & interestingly the Croix De Guerre with palm leaf denoting Mentioned In Despatches . I am at a loss to name this officer however some research may be be able to establish his identity & no doubt the very interesting service record of a then young officer who distinguished himself in WW1.
Battledress itself has worsted Lt Col. rank pips to shoulder straps with 'Royal Sussex ' titles to shoulders surmounting those of the 'A.C.F. ' & also the relevant flashes.
With officers tailoring to collar area allowing it to be worn open with shirt & tie the clothing label remains present reading ' Battledress Blouse 1940 Pattern Size No 9 . A WD broad arrow inspectors '0' code denotes 1942 date.
There is a half inch hole to right breast pocket & one & a half inch hole to left arm. Also a half centimetre hole to back.
An interesting battle dress which this officer most likely wore through WW2 & on into later years when serving with the Army Cadet Force.
