The Australian Jungle Beret
When Australia entered the war in the Pacific, soldiers required a drastic change from their heavy wool uniforms and steel helmets.
Uniforms in heavy-duty, but light weight cotton were introduced, including the Jungle Beret.
Originals now fetch high prices at collectors sites.
I own one of these, I got it at a gun show for free. I would like more information, and the average value.
