This example, designated Size 7, was worn by officers serving with the Lincoln and Welland Regiment, a Canadian Army infantry unit active during the conflict. The battle dress consists of a woolen blouse featuring a button front, chest and waist pockets, and shoulder straps, typical of British Commonwealth designs of the era.
