Medal to ID

[Stuka f]

In fact I have two questions.

First is how do you call this sort of cap's?

And second is the meaning or name of the medal saying "La société des 40 hommes et 8 chevaux" ...

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks Paul! 

And would you have any idea how those commemorative side caps are called?

Sorry Chris all I know is that they were caps which they wore to their convention, seems to have been especially big in Louisiana.
