WW2 Uniform Hat ID needed

Post by Mistered » Sat Dec 14, 2019 5:08 pm

I believe this is a WW2 era woman officer's Army garrison cap but I am not sure.
I cannot seem to find an exact match but the closest I did find was a company that made repro military items and it matches one they make.
If there are any Military history experts out there please advise!
Thanks!

Do you collect military accoutrements? I've read there are at least three defined types: garrison, field, and ceremonial. See a lot of Civil War stuff in the nearby LGS I visit since they supply stuff for re-enactments.

No on the collecting but I may have an answer.
It appears to be WAC garrison cap.

My aunt was a WAC Captain in WWII and it looks a lot like one she had.

This helps - I found one similar online and it too was identified as an officer's style.
