Thought I'd post this up for an example. Have had this one since I was a kid.

And suitability sweat stained as well.
Cheer Chris Whack it up if you can find it Mate
I do like these bush-hats very much and it reminds me about a period,
55 years ago.
I did also wear a sort of bushhat, but it had another form and was
especially meant for the parade- and walking-out dress. It was the
common headdress for land forces (Landmacht), when serving at
the former Dutch colony Nieuw-Guinea (and also at Suriname).
The inner has a sweatband and a tag with Koninklijke Landmacht.
I did serve at Nieuw-Guinea from September 1961 until October 1962.
I still do own one. Left photo: walking-out dress; right photo with
my army device at the left side. Further shown my special (plastic)
arm-patch.
