Cloth belt for Service Dress Tunic of Captain Donald S. Harley, MC (WW II). The tunic is 2007.146.001a. A Canadian pattern of Service Dress Jacket, often referred to in regulations as a "Walking Out" uniform, was introduced during the war also. Its style matched that of the Canadian Pattern Khaki Drill uniform that was introduced at about the same time. Again, troops in Europe were not issued with this uniform though there is much evidence of it being used in Canada. Service Dress was privately purchased; the early war regulations permitted gauntlet guffs, box pleats on the chest pockets, and bellows pockets, as shown here, and this style was also worn in the First World War. Insignia included metal shoulder titles and collar badges. Captain Harley served in the Seaforths from 26 June 1942 to 26 December, 1943. He was the Mortar Platoon commander when he was wounded in Sicily on 5 August 1943 by a mule that kicked him in the head. Due to the severity of the Sicilian terrain, the platoon had to ditch their carrier to use mules. At Ortona he was the 2 i/c of "D" Company and he was wounded on Boxing Day 1943. He did not return to the battalion during the war.
