Constabulary Posted July 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2014 I got cap this in a lot of militray caps and I´m "quite sure" I have seen it on a Vietnam era picture but I don´t remember where and what / who was on the picture. I belive It was a picture in a LIFE magazine but I can´t find it anymore. I think it was a picture of a CIDG camp or an ARVN solider who wore it. But could have been a VC as well... The material is sateen cotton like they used for the OG107 utility shirts. It has a bit of a french Bigeard cap with the flaps on the back side. Maybe someone can help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constabulary Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted July 2, 2014 Hey Bob, thanks for the fast reply! Thats what I was thinking but I can´t find the pictures anymore (PC crashed) Any chance that you have some pics of ARVN soldiers wearing this cap.

thefallenbuddha Posted July 4, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2014 Here's a photo I have on my computer from August 29th, 1965, in Vinh Long. ARVN stretcher barrers carrying wounded. Also, most of the period photos I have seen usually show that soldiers wore these caps with the flaps tucked inside the cap, rather than hanging down the sides (as in this photo).
