The coloured peaked cap worn by the modern British Army for parade and other dress occasions is known as a forage cap.
•
Known as the Bonnet de Police, these caps resembled a nightcap and were also worn by Santa Anna's army during the Mexican War, and by Confederate troops during the American Civil War.
•
In 1902 a new style of forage cap was introduced and named after the then Secretary of State for War, St John Brodrick.

In a Second World War study, Sir Hugh Cairns identified head injuries as a major cause of loss of life among dispatch riders and recommended crash helmets instead of the standard "tin helmet" or forage caps that were often worn.
