Hello,
I seem to have lots and lots of questions about British uniforms but I suppose the only solution when you cannot find the information you are looking for is to ask.
So, my question today is was it usual or, at least, not utterly unusual to see badgeless FS caps during WW2? I have such a badgeless 1940 made FS cap on order and wonder whether I should leave it as is or add a cap badge.
The majority of Royal Engineers working at Arromanches harbour in the summer of 1944 wore GS caps but my impression is that some sergeants and other NCOs did wear FS caps at that time, as on the group photo below.
Royal Engineer Officers, on the other hand, all wore General Service Caps at Arromanches in 1944.
(All the photos are from my personal collection)
Regards,
Didier
