Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers 43rd Wessex Division, 1944 Dated Battle Dress Blouse.

This super, period applied, badged BD to the RMRE is in good condition with nice nap to the material and a number, id say minimal, areas of moth damage. From the photos the main area of damage is to the right side just under the shoulder board and just the side of one badge on the arm, lets say the just smaller than a 5p piece, the other moth damage is minimal, ive counted 6 nips to the material. The period applied insignia ''sit'' well into the material with titles, stripes and arms of service stripes being machine sewn, the 43 Div is nicely hand sewn. Inside lining is clean enough with some sun bleach to the top collar area from being worn open and some rust bleed from storage. Inside 44 dated label is clear with the size being 15. And lets not forget the period applied ribbon bar. The 553 field company of the RMRE was attached to the 43 Division seeing action in Normandy, Epson, Vernon Bridge and later Market Garden. Scarce Battle Dress to a scarce unit!
