1913-16 Irish Volunteers Captain's tunic. A grey-green military tunic, the epaulettes and cuff facings in dark green, with complete set of 'IV' buttons by Comyns, Dublin and two sets of three gilt shamrock rank badges on the cuffs.
The design for a Volunteer uniform was agreed by a sub-committee on 12 August 1914. The chosen uniform was to consist of a grey-green tunic, trousers and puttees. It was up to the individual volunteer to purchase these and while wearing a uniform was not compulsory for volunteers it was for the officers. Officers' uniforms could be sourced from one of the many military tailors in the cities and garrison towns who provided officers’ uniforms for the British Army.
