KRRC(?) Brigadier No1 Uniform.

Jacket with white collar has bronzed Brigadier's rank insignia on red (infantry) felt backing, red Staff (Brig/Col) gorgets, black KRRC/Rifles(?) ball buttons to front, black KRRC/Rifles(?) flat buttons to pockets etc (all buttons/crowns are King's crown) and ribbons for an OBE, 1914/15 Star, War Medal, Victory Medal, '1939/45 Star, Africa Star, Burma Star, Defence Medal, War Medal and Long Service/Good Conduct Medal. Trousers are high backed with 2 1/2" black stripes, button fly and waist fastening, leather under-boot straps and braces buttons.

Braces buttons are marked "E.Pearson, Rawalpindi"). The collar is marked "Roy Brothers, Simla & New Delhi" and "Specially made to stand Indian dhobies".

NOTE: This uniform came to us with letter from the IWM indicating that this is likely to be the uniform of Brigadier FRL Goadby. Commissioned Royal Signals 1918, transferred 1st Battalion 6th Rajputana Rifles 1920, promoted Acting Brigadier 1945. However the WW1 medals would seem to dispute this (he would have been 15 years old at start of WW1). We include the letter with the uniform.

FURTHER NOTE: Alternative info on FRL Goadby held in Bodleian Library, dates differ to those from IWM. Details here.
