Green CF Combat Cap with "Cat's Eyes" on the rear. There are pins and paracord on tehn inside, Sometimes called "Cap, Utliity, Combat". Marked "Onley 820" As issued, the Combat Cap was rather shapeless and soldiers quickly discovered ways of making it look more presentable. The most common method of wear was the "Robin Hood" style where the cap was dampened, shaped to personal taste and worn until dry. The brim was folded up and creased and the top was flattened out. The Combat Cap was superior to the beret in terms of protection from the elements. Subdued cloth cap badges were authorised for all Corps, Branches and Regiments. Initially, Reserve units wishing to provide their soldiers with combat cap badges or shoulder insignia had to use Regimental non - public funds, but they eventually became an issue item paid for by DND. The Combat Cap was withdrawn in the late 1970s only to be reissued less than 10 years later.
