A 1954 dated British Army jungle shirt bearing the sleeve patch of 49 Infantry Brigade (Kenya and Korea), a rare thing in itself, raised during the May Mau Rebellion in Kenya (1952  - 1963). It's very nicely made in an aertex like fabric, with a curved button stand below the waist, chest pockets and epaulets. It has a name and service number written in the shirt tail and tagged size three. Very good condition with very minor repairs.
