Research Notes

Notes

This campaign hat is likely a Model 1911 Service Hat, distinctive for its "Montana Peak." Initially standard issue for the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, they were quickly found to be impractical for trench warfare and were soon replaced by overseas caps and steel helmets.
