Brigadier cap
To continue with good news/bad news about my collection, here is a Brigadier peaked cap. I am waiting anxiously for your comments.

There's recently been a crackdown on the wearing of "Regimental distinctions" by senior officers. Apparently they're all supposed to wear this rather than "Regimental Headdress". I guess some senior chap is jealous of SAS/Para types because he failed selection then!

That senior chap is CGS.
In fact ex-Para Regt Generals still retain their maroon berets whilst all others have adopted the blue beret/cap of the GS. All GS, however wear the GS mess kit, cap badge, GS TRF and GS blue stable belt. |

I can hear the orders now:
Monty - take the black beret off immediately and what is that RTR capbadge doing on it too? (He had a para beret with 2 cap badges on it too. It used to be in long-gone Airborne Forces Museum in Aldershot) De La Billiere - exchange your SAS beret for Cap GS now.... It's never going to work I tell you. Unless the guidance has changed very recently a Para Brigadier was told he was no longer allowed to wear his maroon beret. Ian H |

But what about the really important stuff - will a RRF chap be able to wear a hackle?

I am sure you are right but James Bashall was on TV quite recently with a maroon beret. He was wearing the GS TRF and stable belt. Alan |
