Default WW1 Seaforth Cadets uniform

WW1 Seaforth Cadets uniform
For your consideration is a Seaforth Cadet uniform with accompanying photos of the boy wearing the uniform dated 1918. One of the pictures appears to have been removed from a photo album to ensure that it would stay with the uniform.
The uniform came from a storage locker from Texas. (Perhaps from a storage auction). The tunic has some pencil hole moth nips and a bad rip along the waist thankfully it was easy to repair. It was missing one button, the collar badges and one of the ‘seaforth cadet’ titles. The sporran and belt are not original to the uniform but are authentic period items and match what is shown in the photos.
Enjoy.

What fantastic items. ( makes you wonder how, when everything else has been kept together, the glengarry is missing- what a shame )

P.B.

The sporran, belt, pin, medal, both collar badges, one button, one seaforth cadets tittle are not original to the uniform but are correct era accurate items to finish it off.
I am attempting to find a ww1 glengarry and appropriate cap badge to finish it off. The pictures don't indicate what is the correct cap badge. I have one other photo from the lot and it has the boy holding the glengarry, unfortunately he is holding it the opposite way to see the cap badge!!!!! =(
