Russian Military Original Forage Cap

Product Information

The Kilmarnock forage cap was superseded in kilted Highland regiments by the Glengarry bonnet in 1851. The interior is lined with a cream coloured cotton and no markings pertaining to manufacture date or size are visible. From the 1840s until World War I, French line infantry wore the blue and red kepi, but in 1915, the bonnet de police was reintroduced as a horizon blue garrison cap.

Prior to 1914 these caps were worn in a wide variety of colours according to regiment or branch, with Prussian blue the most common.
