Royal Artillery Officers Mess Dress

I sorely wish that I could keep all of the Uniforms that I have owned. I intend to wear each Uniform at least once and if it does not fit, sadly it must go. I just don't have storage for everything or the money to collect just because.

Here is one of the finest that I have ever owned:







A Pre-WWI Royal Artillery Officers Mess Dress complete with the Pill-Box Cap. The unusual thing about this Uniform is that it was worn by the Senior Medical Officer and all of the trim is silver instead of gilt.

Sadly, the seller couldn't measure worth a damn. There is a big difference between a 38 inch chest as listed and the 32 inch chest that it actually is.

Rent was due so off it went.
