Australian leather cap and badges AASC
A really interesting photo taken from a UK dealers site. It shows a group of WW1 AASC diggers wearing leather caps with a rising sun badge (both hat and collar) being worn with an AUSTRALIA title below; also on the shoulder straps is what appears to be an AUSTRALIA title with numeral and likely an ASC title. A really interesting photo of the rare leather cap and an interesting combination of titles and badges....a beauty.

Thanks for sharing that.
I really love the look of those leather caps and would love to have one. I seem to recall during my research into Despatch Riders that I came across one of these Australian leather caps that belonged to a despatch rider. Very cool. Appreciate seeing this. Cheerio, Roy

Just a couple more of the panoramic pic - a plethora of leather caps and you you may notice one bloke who appears a bit surely - very funny!
Interesting to note, besides the insignia the caps, bandoliers, gaiters and 303's; it made me think that if a digger was a left handed shooter, would he wear the bandolier over the other shoulder??? Last edited by vigilans; 26-02-24 at 08:38 AM. |
