The Army wordsmith who toiled over the attached STARS and STRIPES article worked very hard to convince his Doughboy readership that the latest piece of U.S. Army headgear was “made on a scientific plan”, terribly stylish and well-worth having around:
“It has neither brim nor visor…It is better made than the old cap. It fits more neatly, looks more chic, adapts itself far more genteelly to the average Doughboy braincase.”
“To put it in a word, the new cap is natty. And the old cap was not even hatty.”
KEY WORDS: 1918 overseas cap of ww1,1918 overseas cap information,1918 army articles about the overseas cap,article from 1918 Stars and Stripes regarding the new overseas cap,US Army head gear article concerning the overseas cap of 1918
