1945 RWF Officer`s Service Dress Uniform (Named + Parachutist)
A 1945 dated SD jacket & trousers that were worn by Lieutenant D.T.Rees ( David Tudor) Royal Welch Fusiliers, according to records Rees was commissioned in December 1945 which corresponds with the handwritten details on the makers / owners label inside the pocket .
The jacket retains its original period applied WW2 pattern parachutist`s jump wings (nice split wing example) as Rees was airborne trained and not only in jumping but also gliders, also still present are his wonderful Officer`s bronze RWF Welsh dragon collar badges and RWF brass buttons.
The jacket is an approximate 38 inch chest and retains its original belt, there are a few moth holes/nips present with one on the lower pocket, one just below belt buckle and some on the top of the back region (shown in photo`s).
The trousers are in excellent condition and free of any moth damage, slight rubbing on back of heel hem, approximate 32 inch waist, 31 inch leg.
Only a brief research was undertaken in regards to Rees`s service and worthy of further investigation.
