WW2 British Officers Battle Dress Blouse, 47th (Wythenshawe) Battalion Manchester Home Guard, Lovely original wartime battle dress blouse, to a Manchester Home Guard Lieutenant of the 47th Wythenshawe Bn. The insignia is applied to each arm by means of hand stitching and two Khaki pips sit upon each epaulette. The Home Guard titles are blue on khaki which denote areas or zones covered by the Manchester’s Home Guard units. Below the printed ‘MAN’ and ’47’ patches sit in the usual HG way. The blouse itself is of the early ‘Battle Dress, Blouses Serge’ pattern with its unlined collar and twin interior pockets. The label that still remains, shows the blouse to be a size 17, and 1940 dated, made by Rego Clothiers Ltd. Some wear to one cuff edge and little to no mothing. Good example of an early originally patched up blouse.
