R.A.F. Flight Officer R. G. B. Pugh's uniform group. Included is Pugh's tunic bearing flat service-issue wings and sleeve insignia showing his promotion to Squadron Leader. Pugh's medal ribbon bars below the pilot's wings show the award of the 1939-1945 Star, the Africa Star, clasp for North Africa 1942-43, Italy Star, and Defence Medal. Within, the tailor's label is named to "F/O R.G.B. Pugh". This early tunic has an all-cotton lining with white cotton lined sleeves and a first aid pocket, and it is constructed of light grey early war cotton. Very large bottom pockets are another indication of an early tunic. The uniform trousers are also present and bear Pugh's name. Pugh's 11 ?" x 4 ?" cap with insignia is included, as is his necktie.
