Officer’s chapka, Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry, 1908 (c).

leather skull, with wool coth covering, made by Hamburger Rogers and Company, 30 King Street, Covent garden, London, 1908 (c)

The regiment was raised in May 1901. The Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry were one of a very small number of Yeomanry Regiments to adopt lancer type uniform for full dress. In 1902 Hamburger Rogers produced a trial pattern full dress uniform, which was not adopted immediately, but was certainly worn for the coronation in 1911. The chapka would be fitted with a green feather plume. The regiment was disbanded in 1920
