Looks like a nice set of British Officers uniform to me. The battledress jacket appears to have been tailored at the collar for an officer, which is not uncommon. It looks very green, perhaps its of colonial manufacture? Id like to see the markings in this jacket. Presumably he spent the war in Britain as he has just The Defence medal. Perhaps its surprising to see a senior officers uniform (Lt. Colonel) with just this one ribbon, but I expect its possible. These items are unlikely to be outright fakes- its always possible that they might have been altered (for example new insignia) but they are most probably all OK.
Did you buy the whole lot, as it also included caps and more tunics and other items including framed photographs as well?

Whatever its just an opinion.

The private purchase GS cap by Moss Bros was the first of these I have seen, very nice.

That is a very impressive group.
Hi Ade
The kit belonged to a LT COL C.M. WALKER FROM CIRENCESTER. The majority of the kit is named to him.

Hi All
I am looking into the origin of the battledress from this collection.
Have any of you have heard of the maker Warmstrong MFG. PTY. LTD.
Any advice would appreciated.
Thanks
Liam
