Cap Tallies (Army)
For a period from pre-Federation to 1914 the Army sometimes wore Navy style cap tallies. They were usually worn on the white "cabbage-tree" hat (giggle hat, fore-runner to the bush hat).
In some cases they were also worn on the ORs peaked cap as seen here on the cap of a 1914 Recruiting Sergeant.
