But the Royal Army Clothing Department was abolished in 1933. Also a beret is a cap but not a hat.
The current issue is still a cap badge! Tab on! Tim

Indeed the Tab is still on! The info is from Oliver Locks book British Airborne Insignia But would a Beret be referred to as a cap? https://www.bon-clic-bon-genre.eu/co...h-berets_0.htm Phill |

I always thought crap hat, grunt etc were terms the British picked up from the American forces or films post WWII, maybe Vietnam era.
"Murmur of Mutiny", I remember reading that way back in the 70's., and a sequel "A Dream of Treason". |

My Para Reg 'mates' always referred to me as a cabbage hat - but then I jumped out of planes more than most of them...

The infantry battalion I was in back in the 70's used the term "cabbage heads" as a nickname for RM.
A grandfather who was in the RN 1919 - 45 apparently referred to Marines as "Mary-Annes", a nickname I've never heard used by anyone else. |
