Default New find - RAMC hat

Hi all,

Just wanted to show my last find - a named box and a hat to Lieutenant Colonel John A Tobin, who served in Gibraltar medical services during ww1 and was also awarded a Croix de Guerre. His brother William was in RAMC officer as well. They were from Fermoy, Cork.

Looks like hat is missing a strap, anyone has one over?

Just to add, you might struggle to get the correct chinstrap for it.
