World War 1 Glosters uniform - now with medals!

 

A World War I jacket and cap as worn by a Private of the Glorious Glosters, and medals awarded to the soldier, will go under the hammer at Moore Allen & Innocent’s antiques and general sale this Friday (July 24).

 

The cap features the regimental badge front and rear – the Glosters were the only regiment permitted to wear a badge on the rear, an honour awarded after the Battle of Alexandria when they fought whilst surrounded on all sides – whilst the jacket still has all its brass regimental buttons and Glosters epaulettes.

 

The lot also includes a set of two medals awarded to Private H Tuck: a British War Medal and a Victory Medal. The uniform and the medals carry an estimate of £60 to £100.
