WW2 British Army Other Ranks Peak Cap Chin Strap

The WW2 British Army Other Ranks Peak Cap Chin Strap is a standard-issue accessory designed for the service dress caps worn by enlisted soldiers during the Second World War. This chin strap is constructed from durable black leather and features a pair of brass attachment buckles on each end for secure fastening to the cap’s side buttons. Measuring approximately 30 centimeters in length, the strap is adjustable to fit varying head sizes and cap types. The purpose of the chin strap is both functional and decorative, helping to secure the cap in place during movement or inclement weather, while also contributing to the uniform appearance of personnel. This item represents typical British military outfitting for non-commissioned ranks and reflects the practical design standards adopted by the British Army during the 1939–1945 period. It is compatible with most wartime-issue British Army Other Ranks service caps.
