Identify General Service GS Hat

[ekim2525]

I have recently picked up this General Service Hat. In construction it is identical to several other I have, from British manufactures. This one has Bruxelles stamped in it along with 1945 and a broad arrow, and other words that I can't read. Can anyone tell me what I have here?

Late war Belgian made allied gs cap, often issued to forces in exile troops from Europe but also likely to issued to British as well. Sometimes seen with Dutch or Belgian badges .

Thanks. I thought it was made in Belgium, but wasn't sure about the 1945 date and broad arrow. Glad to know that it might have been issued to British troops. How about Polish troops in British army?
