Campaign hat

[Fred]

A long time ago, a very old timer who'd been a Marine in the 1930's and through WWII, told me that the reason he'd curled the back brim of his cover up Was so that he could fire his 1903 in the prone position and the back of his shoulders wouldn't push his cover forward to interfere with his shots.
Sounds correct to me. Any opinions?

The emblem on the cover was issued for use from 1937 to 1955. Specific use was "Enlisted bronze cap and hat ornament from 1937-1942" and "Enlisted bronze cap ornament from 1942 to 1955".
