C042391 ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY MEDICAL CORPS CAPTAINS’ GROUPING.
This grouping consists of overseas cap, tunic and breeches. The khaki overseas cap has a cap badge attached via lugs and cotter pin to the left wearing side that is complete with a pair of British general list buttons to the front. The interior is fully lined in gold/yellow rayon silk along with a velvet sweat band of the same colour. The khaki, tunic features a four button front, lay down collar and integral, button shoulder straps. All of the buttons feature insignia for the "Canadian Medical Corps". The left wearing hip pocket is missing its button. Cuff rank insignia for a Captain is to each cuff. "Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps" collar dogs are to each collar point, along with "Canada" bullion and wool shoulder flashes are to each shoulder strap. Above the left wearing, pleated breast pocket is a three place ribbon bar that represent the British 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal 1914-1918 and the Victory Medal. The bar shows wear with fabric tears. The chest measures approximately 32". There is some mothing to the fabric. The last item is a pair of ribbed breeches that have a four, metal button French fly with an additional matching button at the waist. The waist measures approximately 34" with a 25.5" breech. Nice crisp seam. Note, with example have "Other Ranks" cap badge and collar tabs, which are not regulation. However they look to be period to the uniform. One pervasive myth seems to be that British uniforms were always regulation perfect. They of course weren't. Often items did not meet specifications for any number of reasons--the individual couldn't obtain the correct items; didn't know what the correct items were; didn't really care. Will leave it up the the buyer as to if they want to replace the collar and cap insignia with officer types. Either way, beautiful uniform!
