C033292 CANADIAN PROVOST CORPS BATTLEDRESS TUNIC.

A khaki wool tunic with a four painted metal dish button front closure, and a lay-down collar, and integral button shoulder straps. A tab and corresponding metal dish button are under the collar at the front. There are pleated patch pockets to each breast, whose scalloped flaps have button closures. The outside seam slashes at the pleated cuffs also have single, hidden button closures. All of the metal dish buttons retain all of their original olive drab paint, and all appear to have most of their original stitching. Three stitched eyelet ventilation holes are beneath each armpit. An integral belt, with a nickel-silver buckle and vertical wool retaining loop on its opposite side, is to the waistband. The back has multiple pleats to it above the waistband. The interior collar, waistband, and along either side of the front closure is lined in tan-coloured cotton, and a large, vertical slash pocket, in the same material as the lining, is to each interior breast. To the right interior pocket is ink stamped, in black, the sizing particulars, the manufacture and a date of April 1945. Three vertical button holes are to a horizontal fly along the interior rear waistband, which allowed the tunic to be buttoned to the matching trousers. Shoulder flashes representing "Canadian Provost Corps" are above the 4th Canadian Division formation badges (No. 8 Provost Company) to each sleeve, while a good conduct chevron is above the right cuff and three overseas chevrons are to the left cuff. A lanyard with a whistle is also included. It appears that a ribbon bar has been removed from above the left breast pocket leaving two holes to the fabric.
