WW2 British, General Service Cap, Badged to Royal Engineers, 1945

As a wartime measure to save on time and materials it was decided to introduce a universal khaki cloth cap made on the beret pattern. Known as the 'Cap-General Service' it was quickly nicknamed the 'Cap Ridiculous'.

Correctly worn with the band in a level position one inch above the eyebrows with the crown of the cap pulled to the right. The badge was worn over the left eye with the badge position centrally between the headband and crown of the cap.

This example is in good condition with very minor moth nips, was manufactured in 1945 by Gelfer of Glasgow and is made to size 6 3/4 with the addition of the late war plastic economy cap badge.

A nice clean example that will display very well.
