Item Details
Description
An "Other ranks’ jacket of the Royal Horse Artillery of dark blue broadcloth with scarlet facings, trimmed with yellow worsted cord and high-domed, brass buttons. There are the remnants of a Royal Military Clothing Establishment label on the right breast innerfacing, along with faint traces of inverted “Broad arrows” stamped in white paint above them (indicating that the jacket was sold out of service). On the inside collar is an old ownership label of “MORRIS ANGEL & SON LTD/ 117/119 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE/ LONDON W.C.”, the venerable costume firm worked at this address from the 1880s. This Royal Horse Artillery jacket was used in the film, The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), starring Errol Flynn, where it doubled as a hussar jacket and where it was “wounded” in action. There is a repaired 2-inch tear on the left breast near the armscye done by Henry Cooke IV of Historic Costume Services; all of the buttons are later replacements.
