Through the colored field service cap, now authorized for all ranks, men of the Canadian Active Service | Force and Non-Permanent Active Militia are enabled to add a touch of color to their khaki outfits when off duty. The colored field service cap Is a wedge-shaped cap, identical ex- | cept for color with the wedge cap | now worn by all troops on active service with their battle-dress uni- forms. It is strictly optional and may be worn only off duty. Every unit in | | the Canadian army may select a color design and when it has been | {approved by national défence head- | quarters men of the unit may buy | the colored cap and wear it, | The cap has been proving a bit lof a headache to the Ordnance | Branch of the Department of Na- tional Defence because it has been assigned the duty of approving de- signs. for the various Canadian mili- | tary units. So far more than 50 units have | submitted cap designs and have been authorized to use the cap of | their choice. Defence headquarters says there is no general indication vet how the idea is catching on | with the toops, but some officers | and men are wearing the new caps | now. The cap for the Royal Canadian | Artillery has a scarlet body and crown with a blue flap and peak | and gold braid piping. The flap is cloth piece along the side' | which ordinarily folds up but may be worn over the ears in winter The peak is a small wedge-shaped | piece of cloth at the front. Royal Canadian Engineers have chosen an all-blue cap with gold french braid piping. The signal Corps also wears all blue with gold, Army Service Corps blue body. flap and peak with white crown; Medi- | cal corps, dull cherry body and crown with blue flap and peak; Ordnance Corps. all-blue with scar- let and gold piping.

The authorization of regimental colored field service caps for all ranks gives all soldiers the privilege hitherto enjoyed by men in High- land battalions of wearing fancy head gear when off dutv. Since instroduction of the battle dress, Highland units have worn khaki tam o'shanters instead of the wedge cap but they are authorized to wear the Glengarry cap when off duty. The only units stil without a spe- cia cap for off-duty wear are the tank regiments and the Irish Reei- ment of Canada, Toronto.
