Dress Blues:
And finally my grandfather's Dress Blues which have not been touched since he came home.
The Trousers: notice the very large flare of the bellbottoms (which are more pronounced then undress Blues but we have no example to show). The 13 buttons, the tie back.
Dress Blue Jumper:
His Dress Blue Jumper which is much more ornate then that of the undress.
Detail of Cuff striping and buttons:
Rate Badge (Boatswains/Coxswains were both underneath the crossed anchors in '43-'46) which is odd since he manned guns on Destroyers and Liberty Ships.
