Ridiculous hat and dodgy attribution.

The second one you show,not a British military cap I’ve ever seen that’s for sure:eek::eek:

Thanks very much - just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just my lack of knowledge
Regards Mike |
The second hat is a Sangkok or Songkok. British Army personnel on loan service in Brunei wear/wore this headgear sometimes in Corps or Regimental colours.

Thanks Tim, that would make a lot of sense - the Brunei Loan Service team now wear full Brunei uniform.
Could the side hat be linked to the signals with the blue central section? |
