wdbikemad Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I would suggest WW2.....tropical garment.....probably Indian manufacture...... Are the buttons rubber ? Common for Far Eastern garments.........the pullover style was in the process of replacement throughout the British and Indian armies by 1944, as was the attached collar style replacing the earlier collarless variety........ Many British troops in the Far East used Indian-made garments as easier to source/supply....hence the British RASC markings............
