Peaked Cap of a Christian Army Chaplain of Prussia during World War I

In the past I published some articles about head coverings worn by religious dignitaries during their service in the army:

Portuguese Chaplain with Peaked Cap
Chaplains of the Federal Armed Forces
United States Air Force Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) Christian Chaplain's Caps
Képi and Helmet Worn by Priests during the War
Head Coverings of the Jewish Feldrabbiner during World War I

Here a peaked cap, worn by Christian army chaplain (Feldgeistlicher) of Prussia
during World War I (1914 - 1918).

    Thanks for sharing this ancient World War 1 military cap. This cap explains the thousands words in background. This is certainly a very important feature of any army men uniform. It is symbol of glory and success.
