A private purchase battledress with four of the original five metal dish buttons that heads to a pair of hooks and eyelets to the neck. A row of three pips on each integral shoulder strap represent the rank of Captain as well as Padre due to the backing colour. One of the pips is missing it’s top. To each sleeve, below the shoulder seam, are "Canada" titles, as well as a formation badge for the 1^st Canadian Corps.  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 are original to the tunic and retain all 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-colored cotton, and a large, vertical slash pocket, in the same material as the lining, is to each interior breast. A small white cotton tag is sewn to the right pocket, but none of the information is discernable. There are numerous holes and fabric runs to the sleeves and waistband. Rare tunic!
