Bonjour,

A friend of mine has just purchased this british general uniform.

I think that this uniform is dating around WW2.

On the shoulder, there is the general rank insignia and a little "R" under.

On the chest 12 ribbons, which are the following:

Bonjour,

On the chest 12 ribbons, which are the following:

Order of the Bath (large),

DSO,

Military cross,

1914 or 1914-15 star,

British war medal 1914-1920,

victory medal with oak leaf,

General service medal,

1939-45 star,

Jubilee 1935,

Coronation 1937,

St Stanislas order,

St Anne order (large)

Thinking that ribbons and insignia are genuine, is there any expert who can give a name to this uniform?

Thank you for your help.

The rank crown is the pre circa 1952 King's Crown, the "R" beneath the insignia, I thought that this was a relatively new practise, indicating that the solder concerned is "Retired"

R it's for reserve isn't ?

Really I do not have any idea about the meaning of the letter "R" under the rank insignia.

But I get another picture of the uniform hoping that it will help to identify this general.
