forage cap
Forage cap is the designation given to various types of military undress, fatigue or working headresses. These varied widely in form, according to country or period. The coloured peaked cap worn by the modern British Army for parade and other dress occasions is known as a forage cap.
==History==
In the 18th century, forage caps were small cloth caps worn by British cavalrymen when undertaking work duties such as foraging for food for their horses. The term was later applied to undress caps worn by men of all branches and regiments as a substitute for the full dress headdress.〔W.Y. Carman, ''Dictionary of Military Uniform'', p.59, ISBN 0-684-15130-8〕 The kepi widely worn during the American Civil War is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a forage cap.〔J. Philip Langellier, ''Parade Ground Soldiers: Military Uniforms and Headdress 1837-1910'', ISBN 0-87020-174-3〕
