Canada, CEF. A Royal Canadian Artillery Officers Tunic, c.1918

A well-preserved example of a Lieutenant's tunic constructed of fine khaki wool. One central pleat runs down the center of the back of the tunic. The insignia of the Royal Fusilier’s is emblazoned on both sides of the collar. Each cuff is decorated with two rank stars denoting Lieutenant. The front is completed by four pockets and three large buttons, with one missing. The tunic body and sleeves are lined with a khaki twill, the sleeves lined with white twill. The interior bears the maker’s mark for ‘DEXTER’.  The jacket measures 46 cm across the shoulders x 83 cm in length. Very few signs of service wear overall, an excellent example of a WW1 Canadian tunic, in extremely fine condition.
