1950's Jungle Green Uniform - Malaya

[Flying10uk]

This British Jungle Green uniform was well used in Malaya in the period 1957 - 59 by a National Serviceman who was a R.E.M.E. officer attached to the 13th/18th Hussars. Notice the Gurkha flashes on the shirt and jacket. After he left the army the shirt was later given to his son for "dressing up" before the uniform was later gifted to my late father on the condition that the soldier's identity was never disclosed. The shirt has been shortened and it is believed that the jacket buttons are non original.

The "Safe Conduct Pass" came from the same source and was gifted at the same time as the uniform. These were air dropped over the Malayan jungle in areas thought to be hostile and this example is thought to date to the late 1950's.
