An Officer's Uniform of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry
A rare and interesting group of WWI Service Dress uniform items worn by Lieutenant Charles Edwards, consisting of: a good khaki whipcord tunic, with Lieutenant's rank-distinctions on sleeves, brass buttons, service-stripes, bronze regimental collar-badges and a loop of black silk on each shoulder-strap; another SD tunic, with slightly smaller bronze collar-badges, black loops and badges of rank in metal on shoulder-straps, also with service-stripes on right sleeve; a good tropical SD tunic of khaki drill, complete with most buttons, lacking one shoulder-title (never fitted for collar-badges); a Sam Browne belt complete with brace, revolver-holster and ammunition-pouch; an officer's khaki canvas map-case, still containing an incomplete linen-backed map of SALONIKI in 1:200,000 scale and two larger-scale maps, also linen-backed, of parts of the same area: an AB153 (Field Message Book), complete with its original cover and carbons; and a portrait photograph of the officer, in Service Dress with his dog; together with a post-WW2 officer's SD tunic of The Royal Artillery.
