British WW2 Named 'The Welch Regiment' Battledress Grouping

In a very nice condition a British WW2 named grouping of a soldier of the Welch Regiment.
The grouping comes on the name of Sergeant Stanger of the 1st battalion (White on black) Welch Regiment.
Sgt. Stanger was from Jewish faith and serviced in the 10th Royal Berkshire Regiment before he was transferred to the 1st Bn, Welch Regiment.
Underneath the Welch regiment he was Intelligence Sergeant!
The grouping contains his service cap,battledress and trousers as found in a house cleaning in Britain decades ago.
All insignia to the tunic is original applied.
The set comes with traces of wear and age and has some damage to the cloth and insignia.
Next to the uniform this grouping contains a stunning big pile of wartime documents of the Berkshire regiment and the welch regiment like army command messages, regiment messages, german flyers, private letters, entertainment flyers and many many more.
This is for sure one of the best and biggest British infantry unit groupings we had have for sale.
A hard to find set!
