Late Victorian / Boer War Period Wiltshire Regiment Officer`s Uniform (RFC Pilot Connectiion)

A fresh to the market late Victorian/ early Edwardian period Wiltshire regiment officer`s blue wool patrol uniform (2nd Lieutenant). The smart, slim fitting tunic bears Victorian period officer`s silver plated collar dogs made by J.R.Gaunt & sons along with QVC brass buttons and correct red backed shoulder pips, the pips have been centralized on the epaulette by the officer. This was a genuine service used uniform as there are some small period done repairs present which can be seen in the images. The high backed / fish tail trousers with their thin scarlet welt are also slim fitting with an approximate 31 inch waist and 32 inch inside leg, still retaining their lower leather straps & buckles, one of the rear blackened wooden buttons broken in half. Both items are labelled and bear the owners name Roger Ernle Money - Kyrle but I have been unable to connect him directly to the Wiltshire regiment as he was commissioned directly into the Royal Flying Corps during the Great war(please see item 50822 for full history on R.E.Money- Kyrle ). Money-Kyrle came from an affluent Wiltshire family so he may have been pre-planning a commission in the regiment before the lure of the RFC or even belonged to an older family member, worthy of further research.
