Notice the third man from the left wears a pair of wings on his hat. This is the first period proof I have ever seen of this being done:

Great footage! Thanks for sharing the link. I've seen a lot of crap on overseas caps, but never a wing.

Looks smaller two, could it have been made specifically for hats maybe?,

BILL THE PATCH,

 

I agree it definitely looks to be smaller. Maybe around 2-2.5"? Definitely interesting!
