Military Hat Photos

Thanks Douglas. My dad said he didn't wear the side cap much, so it is in great condition. The officers' hat is in good condition as well except for some wear on the sweat band. Too bad he didn't get to keep his flying helmet.
The RCAF look very much like the RAAF caps. But that is to be expected.

Sorry for not posting here for a while. I have not had time to take out the military caps. Here are a few German caps. I do have an affinity for German caps and uniforms.

German Luftwaffe Field Officer private purchase( I have this entire uniform, it is a Hauptmann from the Wachbataillon)
German Luftwaffe Staff officer private purchase( I have this entire uniform, it is a Lt.Col.from the molders 74 squadron)

I thought I would get this party started again with my collection of WW2 Aussie slouch hats.
A 1939 dated Tasmania L of C (HQ) slouch hat:
A 1942 dated Australian electrical and mechanical engineers (other than field units) hat. Named to Lt. Bainbridge
A 1941 dated Australian engineers slouch hat. Unfortunately a paper tag with that had the former owner's name on it was waterdamaged or eaten by snails (not during my care!) so it is now illegible:
A 1945 dated Australian ordnance corps slouch hat:
A 1942 dated AEME hat. My first WW2 dated hat
A 1942 dated 2/4th pioneer btn. hat. Named to SX19628 K.F Wilson. It's a part of his uniform set and equipment I own:

Hey Jkingrph, thanks for the info. I have wondered about that. The reason I mentioned it to be a Lt.Col. is because there is a name and rank on the sweat band. I would think having your name in the hat would come in handy when there are more than two laying in front of you.
