THANKS Lee & Pete for your very informative responses!
I was wondering when the compass rose disappeared from the hats. This certainly was news to me, I had never expected this to be part of the hat & as mentioned earlier it was of concern to me.
The photo above would have been taken at the very birth of the RCN in 1910so by then the rose would have disappeared form the sennet hats.
When I am in recipt of the hat I will post more photos of it.
