Have you researched the original owner of the cap? His service papers have survived and they reveal that he enlisted on the 20th August 1915.

Yes I ordered his service record. He was born in 1897, enlisted 1915 and left in 1920. He was put on the reserve list until 1925.

Default Circa WWI unattached staff officers forage cap

Dating to some time after 1912 when the makers Hawkes & Co moved to their new premises at 1 Saville road, well they moved in 1911 but the cap has a date for the patent of 1912. He would have been an unattached junior staff officer from what I have read.

I bought it from the author of a book on British army officer caps in which it is shown.

Default Army officers Sun helmet

Another item made by Hawkes & Co. again sometime after 1911 as it lists both addresses and I have been informed that the type of liner was introduced in 1917, though the pug band looks more like one from circa 1930 and the flash has been id's as being for the S. Lancs and again dating to the same period.

In lovely condition complete with paper warning labels and two sets of makers marks. It is possible that it is an early example reused with the flash for the S. Lancs in the later period as the pug band variations can be very hard to date as both thin and thick types are seen in WWI period photographs. Note it has a leather edge trim which should only be seen on officer examples, OR's should have a cloth trim.

This WW2 private purchase beret and early American Paratrooper helmet both belonged to Darrel “Bucky” Harris. He was among the very first group of volunteers who were the foundation of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion.
