Hi
Can you check the buttons on the first tunic and let me know what exact maker they are.
Looking at the material, collar and cuffs it seems like one of the many private purchase tunics worn during the French campaign of 1940 by the Polish army.
You see officers, cadets and NCO's wearing many patterns of tunics.

Hi,
#1 my second guess was also some kind Polish Forces in France as their uniforms varied greatly. However buttons are signed "Gaunt & Son, London, England". Jacket has lots of repairs and stiches, pocket and epaulettes buttons missing, epaulettes sewn directly onto the jacket... it is safe to assume the buttons were replaced later.
Medal ribbons are for sure Polish pre-war: Cross of Merit (Krzyz Zaslugi), Krzyż na Śląskiej Wstędze Waleczności i Zasługi (Silesian Uprising Cross), The 1918-1921 War Medal (Medal Pamiątkowy za Wojnę 1918-1921).
Any further ideas?
