The attached W.W. I Stars & Stripes clipping announced to both Army and Marines that the era of the overseas cap had arrived and was not going away anytime soon:
“The overseas cap, which has (not) protected its wearers from the rains of sunny France and the suns and snows and sleets all over the A.E.F., will be permitted to remain the official headgear of the returning troops after they get back to the States.”
