Royal Nfld Regt proposed headdress 1960s

[Blackadder1916]

Though it was not approved, apparently the R Nfld R made a serious attempt to get a fancy hat sometime in the early 1960s.

I came across these newspaper clippings in on-line archives of Memorial University of Newfoundland. Though these are undated, some of the other nearby material in the scrapbook in which they were found are dated early 1960s.
