white hat bands, 1910, 4th TF Bn, Norfolk Regt
Why do some (possibly all) of the men in this photo have white bands on their hats?
The image is from JR Harvey's unpublished history of the 4th Norfolks. It shows men crossing Ranworth Common on 4th August, 1910 after the manoeuvres near Sheringham. Rob.

Possibly wearing white bands on headdress to represent enemy or opposing forces on an exercise.
See this in Peter Brydon's album http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ictureid=29940 Tim

Harvey, JR. Unpublished b. A History of the 4th Battalion the Norfolk regiment (Territorial) from 1859 to 1921. The Millenium Library, Norwich, has the only original copy I know of. The typescript includes annotated maps of the Suvla campaign; additional hand written notes (by several later authors) and typed lists of Bn officers through to the 1950s. I have a photocopy of the Norwich typescript, about 140 pp altogether. JR Harvey was the 4th Bn CO from 1910 to Suvla. He was an unpopular and controversial commander with earlier militia, regular and yeomanry (Boer War) service. His history and Petre's 2 volume The History of the Norfolk Regiment are selective in their reporting of the battalion's internal affairs during the period from August 1914 to July 1915. Rob.
