WW1 SERVICE DRESS JACKET. 1902 PATT. Named, the Northampton Reg't see all photos.

 A wonderfull original tunic in immaculate condition.  As new, but it has been worn as you can see from the small amount of dirt on the inside. Which is the early white cotton cloth.

Double pleats at the neck and pleated pockets as you will find in early jackets.

Named to Robert.E Dudley of the Northampton Regiment 59590. (see  pic)

Brass shoulder titles on each shoulder strap.

Collar and pocket flaps unlined.  Brass belt hooks have slight corrodion on them.

Wound pocket has been unstitched,  no moth or wear.

The Right sleeve has the Overseas One Year Blue Stripe.  On the left sleeve there is a brass Lewis Light Machine Gun badge. Below is brass crossed rifles for a marksman

As you can see there are the reminants of the paper label.  The War Dept stamp suggests it is from 1914-1915 Leeds depo

This will come with some basic research to start the ball rolling so you can find out more about this man.

I have neer seen a tunic in such good condition as this one.
