Yeoman Warder Uniform
Hi,
I have just come into the possession of a Yeoman Warder Uniform from a collection here in Australia.
It belonged to Robert Isaac Furman A/RSM 9th Middlesex Regt who retired from the service of the Yeoman Warders in 1953.
1953 saw Liz jump onto the thrown as her father had died the year before, which makes the tunic interesting.
It was made by Hobson and Sons (London) and has a kings crown and buttons, yet it has E R on the front.
Just wondering if it is possible that they rebadged the tunic as E R due to his time left in the service or was this common around this time whilst they waited for new uniforms?
