WW2 Australian Service Tunic

By admin ( May 12, 2012 at 6:11 am) · Filed under History forum

Here is my first tunic into the collection. Have wanted one for awhile and its surprising how much they seem to go for. Finally got the style I was wanting for a decent price and it arrived yesterday afternoon

Its a 1943, 4 pocket wool service tunic. I was a little worried it was going to be the later 43 version with the internal bottom pockets but was happy its in the earlier configuration. Manufacturer is S.146. Its a small size but looks unissued, even has the size tag still attached

Now the fun part starts, putting it together. I am looking for buttons, shoulder titles, and collar badges. Also would love a slouch hat but I know its gonna be harder to get.

I wanting to put it together as a 2/11th West Australian Battalion, my wife’s granddad served with them during WW2 and was a POW in Germany,so anyone with anything from them would be great ;) (I know I am pushing my luck).

Cheers guys, will keep this thread updated with progress.
