RCMP Female Cap - Circa 1974

C A N A D A


DOWN THE 'DEPOT' GARDEN PATH


This female member's cap was issued at 'Depot' circa 1974 at the time of the early acceptance of women into the Force. Actually, at the time, I thought it was kinda 'stylish'?

Female members likely will oppose my opinion.

  1. I wore one of those. In our initial issue of uniform we had no pockets and it made a great note book holder. :)
