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.

Any tailors label? Looks like a theater tailored piece particular to India. 

No tailors label in tunic or pants!  Didn't think of India.  Is there a list of MC receipts?

Thanks

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.
