Military Beret

 

The origin of the military beret

 

In the 1920s, British tank crews began to figure out how to replace the rigid khaki caps. Because in the armored vehicles at that time, it was very inconvenient for the tank crew to wear this kind of military cap.

 

The cap had to be worn backward so that it wouldn't interfere with the gunner's view, and it had to be strapped to the chin to secure it to the head.

 

After using light-colored wool fabrics, when tank crews adjust the military caps, the caps are often covered with oil stains very quickly.

 

In 1924, British tank soldiers finally found a black wool beret. It is between the two types of berets worn by French tank soldiers in the First World War. Black leather wraps around the brim, and the straps retract to adjust the size of the brim during insertion. Tie a knot in the back of the head to hold it in place.

 

When British tank soldiers put their traditional "Dreadnought" badge on the brim above the left eye, it became a fashionable and practical military cap. It soon became famous for its unique personality and gradually became the symbol of armored forces all over the world at that time.

 

By the time of World War II, the beret had gained rapid popularity in the military.

 

At that time, various British troops wore berets of different colors. These include the tan berets used by the British Special Air Service, and the maroon berets worn by the paratroopers, Britain's first airborne force. It is affectionately called "cherry berry".

 

Legend has it that the color was chosen by novelist Daphne Du Maurier. She was the wife of Major General Frederick Browning, one of Britain's most acclaimed heroes of World War II.
