British Officers Forage Caps 1900 - 1904

[John Mulcahy]

Attached below on the left is the officers forage cap pattern from the 1900 Dress Regs, on the right is the "new pattern" shown in the 1904 Dress Regulations.

Does anyone know the exact date of (official) change between the two?

thanks

John
