Maybe not exactly elite, but still interesting.

Interesting photo! It reminds me of Jack Sheldon's book the Germany army at Ypres 1914 in which the story of several Bavarian units, wearing oil cloth caps, is told, that were shot at by other units of the German army because they were mistaken for British soldiers.

Great book! And great example. But what Jack was talking about is a slightly different kind of hat.
