22nd Dragoons Officers Coloured Field Service Caps

[FMT600]

Hi all,

A fair while ago as we were debating wherever to start a new headdress section here on the Forum I said I would support such a venture, until now I have not really been in a position to post much to support my earlier comments, I have however now been able to photo part of my Side cap/Field Service Cap collection some examples of which I'm now in the process of uploading for your enjoyment.

Firstly a couple of officers examples to the 23ed Hussars, one being made to the universal pattern for Coloured Field Service caps fitted with a silver/gilt plate collar sized badge and formally the property of the Regimental intelligence officer (kindly sold to me by a Forum member) the second being well worn fitted with a silver/gilt plated Firmin made cap badge and of quite an unusual pattern.
