WW2 British RAMC Coloured Field Service Wedge Cap Size 7 1/4

The WW2 British RAMC Coloured Field Service Wedge Cap, size 7 1/4, is an original headgear piece associated with the Royal Army Medical Corps during the Second World War. This example features the characteristic maroon and dark blue cloth panels, which denote the RAMC unit affiliation. The cap is constructed with a horizontal seam and a central fold, typical of British field service caps of the era. A brass General Service button is attached to the front, and the lining is made from cotton, marked with the size 7 1/4. Such caps were commonly worn by non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel for walking out or on less formal occasions. The distinctive coloured panels distinguished medical corps members from other branches of service. Items like this wedge cap reflect British military uniform standards between 1939 and 1945 and demonstrate the use of coloured headdress within the British Army to indicate corps identity and function.
