Here is a BD blouse I acquired a couple of years ago. I also acquired his named Service Dress tunic with original S Staffs brass buttons and collar badges. Both originated from the same source and both are moth damaged. I obtained copies of his records from Library and Archives Canada.
The beret is modern and the cap badge is not his. The yellow is a Celanese recognition panel for individual sodliers. This one was found on the Drop Zone for Arnhem by Harry Bullens of the UK shortly after the war.
Here is a Dutch web page about the battle at Arnhem and they have a photo of Erskine wearing Service Dress, presumably the one that I have.
