Lonewolf523 Posted July 13, 2025 #1 Posted July 13, 2025 Gents, I have been looking to find out something about this gentleman but no luck. I can't find a name in the jacket. There can't be that many General Officers with the Military Cross? I am hoping someone could give be a little more information or tell me where to look. I am assuming that it World War 2. Thanks in advance. LW
Ludwigh 1980 Posted July 18, 2025 #2 Posted July 18, 2025 Any tailors label? Looks like a theater tailored piece particular to India.
Lonewolf523 Posted July 19, 2025 Author #3 Posted July 19, 2025 No tailors label in tunic or pants! Didn't think of India. Is there a list of MC receipts? Thanks
S.ChrisKelly Posted July 19, 2025 #4 Posted July 19, 2025 That's an unusual set of ribbon bars... Just an observation... An MC, plus the "pip, squeak and wilfred {with an MID!}" ribbons, all, presumably, for First World War Service, makes sense... Then, a 25 ~ years/Silver Jubilee of King George V, {no 1937 King George VI Coronation?} and a 1939 French Croix de Guerre with no device {highly unusual, unless the device came off. The Croix de Guerre was always awarded with a bronze, silver or gilt star, or a bronze or silver palm}. It's still a good ~ looking jacket, and in great condition for its age.
