Rare Authentic WW2 Japanese Army General's Officers Uniform Tunic Medal

An extremely rare authentic example tailor made entirely from silk. This uniform also retains its original cords and extensive ribbon bar. I’ve been collecting high ranking Japanese uniforms for many years now and this is to date the only example I have come across that was tailored from heavy silk. It truly is an amazing piece. I’m thinning my collection and only have room for a few uniforms, so unfortunately I have to let it go to someone else. All aspects of construction are correct and the ware is appropriate for its age.

Biography : Son of Walter Reid, C. Aberdeen ; born Aberdeen, 10 February 1891 ; educated at the Grammar School ; student in Science, 1907-08. He studied chemical engineering at Aberdeen and Glasgow and subsequently in France and Germany, and became F. At the outbreak of war he was with the firm of Orr’s Zinc White Ltd. He served as a Private in the Liverpool Scottish before the war, and in 1913 was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the West Lancashire R. In June 1915, after serving in England since mobilization, he went overseas and served in Gallipoli, Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula and the Balkans. For his services at Salonika, where he was in temporary command of a Greek Labour Battalion, he was mentioned in dispatches. In January 1918 he was invalided home suffering from malaria, but in June he gallantly volunteered again for active service with the North Russian Expeditionary Force and was sent to Onega on the White Sea, where he was in command of fortifications. He died at Archangel on 6 November 1918 of illness contracted on service.
