Bayern Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hello : The Legion Española used the wide brimmed hat during the moroccan wars but not alone , it was of general use by the cavalry and artillery . the chambergo never dissapeared totally in the emergence of the war there were old stocks of them available in depots . they used the hats . for other explication , the LC was juridically equaled with the Tercio and had close ties with these, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
