Default officer coloured field service cap RA

Here is the service cap of a Royal Artillery officer. His name and unit are written inside : J.F.B. BOWMAN 60TH FIELD RGT, RA. Could you date it ? Thank you.

He was commissioned on 28th December 1939, so I'd say it's WW2.

Thank you. It seems you found some details about J.F.B. BOWMAN. Is it in an open database ?

As worn by an officer under the rank of major. Majors and Lt Cols had a extra row of braid along the edge of the false peak.
