I know hes my friend, and yeah I know we are in the same clan, but he did a good job with this, and I think he should get the credit for a good job like a lot of you guys get for good work.Īnyways hope you guys enjoy it, and enjoy using it. lapel enlisted soldiers wear branch insignia on a 1 brass disc and U.S. I figured I would let you guys know it is out, and some of you expert modifiers might even be able to make the iconic Marine version for your Paris Island needs (I hate that base but loved buy guns and ammo off it). Anyways I conned him in to putting it on Armaholic because he worked pretty hard on making it perfect, and taught me a bunch in the process. That was something I didn't know being from Air Force world. He also researched and found out the blue ring (which apparently stands for combat MOS) and built that in. Frankly put it is something that we don't NEED to make the game better, but like I said its iconic, it really will bring a bit of shock and awe to training, and command respect even if the wearer isn't to deserving. Bryan a civilian, former cop, and current firefighter figured out the missing object. Many soldiers again reshaped the crown to form a pinched "Montana peak." The army officially adopted the peaked design on 8 September 1911 as "1911 Hat, Service, M1911 (Campaign Hat.)"Īnyways J. The 1,200 Canadian troops serving under Baden-Powell were the first to wear the campaign hat as a part of their official uniform, and this very likely influenced Baden-Powell's decision to order 10,000 of the hats for the British troops.Ī few years later, during the Spanish–American War the standard central crease on the crown was again found to be impractical as it tended to hold the rainwater from the frequent tropical downpours. Three years later in 1896, these scouts introduced the hat to British officer Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who in turn would introduce it to the South African Constabulary and the Boy Scouts (see below). Some were worn with campaign cords mainly a form of decoration.Īt least as early as 1893, hats of this type were being re-creased into pointed tops, in order to keep off rain, by British South Africa Company scouts in Africa (see photo of Maurice Gifford at left). The name started to be used after the 1872–1876 regulations which introduced a black felt hat — which could be drab after 1883 — for fatigue use derived from the types popularized during the American Civil War.
The origins of the hat can be traced to the 1840s when army troops posted in the west took to wearing civilian hats which were far more practical than the shakos or kepis then in vogue with most western armies.
