WW2 British, STUNNING, Uniform Grouping; Royal Army Medical Corps, 1944, with Attribution.

Provenance of marriage photograph where Battledress can be seen being worn by its owner:
Alan Wright met Eva towards the end of the war. She was in Belgium when it was liberated by the Allied Army. She was of Hungarian Jewish descend and, with her sister, managed to avoid capture until the Allies liberated Belgium in 1944. Both her parents, however, died in concentration camps. She met and married Alan when she was working as an interpreter. Eventually, she was given permission to come to the UK, whereas she spoke 5 languages, she continued her work as a translator.

The Canadian Battledress was much prized by British troops who appreciated its more athletic cut and finer weave to the cloth. Early production had manufacture and size tags, however, this was replaced by ink stamps to the lining. The Battledress also did not have traditional buttons with stitching holes but metal ones with a stitching ‘post’ and were painted to match the garment. As an economy measure in 1943 the hooks and eyes of the collar fastening were replaced by a button and tab.
