Original British WW1 Dismounted 1915 Pattern Greatcoat (Issued to French Army)
A 100% original and rare 1915 pattern British pattern dismounted pattern greatcoat. Interestingly this greatcoat seems to have been issued to the engineering branch of the French army. It has the domed buttons which are stamped'Paris' that were worn by the french engineers. It also has a french army engineers button at the collar, together with the small British horn type button that is associated with this pattern of greatcoat. WD stamped on the pocket liner. It also seems to have never had epaulettes fitted, and I have shown photos to illustrate this. There are some small holes that seem to have been period patched, but overall the condition of the greatcoat is good. The liner at the back and in the sleeves is in good condition, with evidence of light wear.

This coat is from my own collection. It's an intriguing piece. Britain did supply the french army with uniforms during the first world war (genuine horizon blue pieces with WD stamps are out there in acollections). Keywords: WW1 WWI, great coat khaki service dress brass overcoat.
