WW2 British Glider Pilots Battle Dress Blouse, good worn example of a 1937 pattern BD with concealed button front (most buttons now absent). Padded embroidered glider pilots wing above medal ribbons for 1939-45 star, Italy star, Defence medal & 1939-45 War medal. To the arms are beautifully bullion embroidered formation signs for the eighth army above Royal Artillery arm of service strips. Red backed rank pips to the shoulders. The insignia would indicate that the owner was part of the Artillery air observation in Italy. Interior with the remains of the linen label, War Department ink stamped with date letter ‘P’ for 1941. Inked name ‘BECK’ to the inside. Worthy of further research.
