Hello to all

A friend of mine found out this jacket

Any idea of its branch ? maybe some informations about it past owner ?

It's named to a Col J Allen and dated 30 Dec 1944

Thanks

The button shown id for the Indian Army General Staff / Unattched List, so correct for an officer in red staff tabs. Other than that, not insights I'm afraid.
