QVC buttons or bust?
paddywhack replied to Farkas's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Well if the thing you bought was attached to this button then £65 might be ok but if it was in its own yeah that's not a bargain at all! -
So I recently picked up locally this named British army uniform and I was wondering if anyone could help me with IDing the owner, it seems to say Captain G R WATSON but as the uniform is completely stripped(with new shiny buttons added) I don't know the regiment he was from, iv tried the London gazette and no luck, I did find a capt G R WATSON on the 1945 army list but I can't access it on forces records without a subscription and while its on fold3 it doesn't seem to to be searchable, could anyone help to see if I could get an ID on this officer? Now the other thing that is a bit puzzled since I got it I noticed that on the bottom 2 pockets there doesn't seem to have been any buttons at all!is this normal? again help help on this would be great

Uniform identification
paddywhack replied to Macashton's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
When I zoom in on the captain's buttons they look like elephants on them, could it be the Duke of Wellington regiment (west riding regiment)
