NZEF uniform identification Please

[Wendy Macpherson]

Hi all

Can I get some assistance identifying this uniform please.

The Chap is identified on the Makomako memory board as F. Clark

Is he in WWI or WWII uniform ?

Regards Wendy

Hi Wendy

WWII style photo and uniform

roger

Great thanks Roger.

That means I can confirm his identification as Frederick John CLARK who served WWII, died march 2011 aged 91

...and not Frederick John CLARK who served WW1, died December 1986 aged 98. I wont

go into the other Frederick's in the family but lets just say they were prominent and have driven me crazy

trying to sort them all out.

Thanks again, Wendy

Always my pleasure Wendy, this is the WW1 SD tunic for comparison and future reference.

And this is the 'utility pattern' (with no upper pocket pleats or shoulder reinforcement patches) initially issued between 1914-15.

Done away with all those buttons which must have been a god send to the lads. The garments certainly changed to a more practical style.

Thanks again for explaining to me frogsmile.
