To beret or not to beret

The beret has a long history in the Armed Forces and its varying colours and the different ways in which it can be worn can be somewhat complicated.

It was originally pressed into service for the British military by the Royal Tank Regiment in 1924, and since then it has grown in popularity all across the Armed Forces.

Although it seems like a simple piece of kit, the beret has a notorious reputation for being a complicated item to wear and adjust.
