Vintage (Pre-WW2) Uniforms

[Andy Baillie]

Here's one of my favourite uniforms from 1925!

(I bet it's seen the inside of many-a royal function and venue!)

Please post any more vintage uniforms from before WW2 - from khaki to polka-dot!

Apologies for bad quality photos, done on my phone!

Thanks for the pics, Andy. Any info on the original owner?

Thanks for the pics, Andy. Any info on the original owner?

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the owner,
but it would be amazing to find out,

I wonder whether I might be able to contact the Diplomatic Corp via their website and find out, I'm sure they must have records,

It's just amatter of whether they'd release any records to a member of the public,

I will definately post any infp if I find anything out

I suppose finding out is half the fun of having an interest in history!

Here are some scans I found in a book about the life of Winston Churchill,

These are circa 1908 and show the same uniforms as mine, captioned as ‘Levee Dress’
