    WW2 Named British Officer’s Sam Browne Belt - Lt. Skipper, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). The Sam Browne Belt is an iconic part of British uniforms through the latter part of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century (see last picture for reference). This belt here is in good condition and contains the clearly distinguishable markings “307266”, “W.B. Skipper” and “REME” in two separate places.
    W.B. Skipper was an officer in the REME during World War 2 and was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on Jan 15th, 1944 and later to Lieutenant on July 15th, 1944. The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers were formed in 1942 to maintain and repair the equipment the army used. The 6 digit number is his service number.
