Very nice.

I just found out about that book!

I've become a real fan of these field service caps. This is a RAF cap I just acquired.

Thank you.

Did RA caps ever come with GS buttons. or was this originally for some other regiment?

I just acquired this field cap with General Service buttons and a Royal Artillery Badge (should be angled). I see someone originally had the badge on the blue part. Any input on this cap would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Paul

Thank you. I didn't know that Serbian Volunteer used M33 helmets.

I did! I also saw the 2nd Monmouthshire example. I'm jealous.

This is a great cap!

Thank you Jerry B

I like it very much.

I just purchased this Northumberland Fusiliers cap. I'm assuming that it would date from the 1950's-60's based on the "By appointment to Her Majesty The Queen" title in the makers label. What do you all think? Am I correct? Can it be narrowed down any more?

Thank you very much.

Paul

This is my newest helmet. It's my only Italian helmet. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Paul

Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders

Thank you both. I purchased this off of the other forum, and am well pleased with it. I was reading a bit about these hats. Is this an example of gold wire lettering on the tally?

Whitened canvas

This is my newest acquision. My understanding is that it would be WWII or cold war era.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you both.

I picked this item up for not too much. I was wondering if anyone could help me with any information regarding age, etc.

Thank you very much,

Paul

Thank you very much! I've never seen a RAMC to RA before!

Hello,

Can anyone help me with a MIC look up for 6745 PTE A.F.V. Libberton RAMC? Apparently he transferred from RAMC to Royal Artillery.

Thank you,

Paul

The first picture was taken with better light, and shows the color better than the others because of the flash.(It's rainy here today.)

This is a Japanese cap I have in my collection. I don't know a lot about Japanese headgear. I mainly collect British militaria, so I wanted some input from the forum about this cap.

Thank you,

Paul

Thanks Paul! I PM'd her over on the BMF.

I just purchased a 1914-15 Star to J. Moir 1st South African Horse. I'm curious if there's an on-line resource to look him up? I am aware of Ancestry having MIC's to british troops, and Find My Past having British service records. What about South African troops? Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Paul

Thank you Hendrik.

I've tried to look this up, but haven't found the details regarding the different designs of these bars. Is one a first version?
