This is a lovely & hard to find WWII Enlisted khaki garrison cap for a soldier in the Airborne Parachute Infantry. There is a period applied Parachute patch on the left side, with great blue infantry piping on the cap. The interior has two small laundry tags with numbers that wouldnt be able to name the wearer. The sweatband is marked with size 6 . A great example, ready for further research and display.
