Pill box caps were a military style that appeared in the mid-19th century. We believe that they were worn by sime boys. We do not see many boys wearing them, but our 19th century English archive is limited. W are not entireky sure about the chronology, but believe they were primarily worn wduring the mid- and late-19th century. Some seem to have orgabizational connections. The most obvious here are Boy' Brigade uniforms that appeared in the late-19th century. As far as we know, no schools adopted them as part of the uniform. The only 20th century examples we have found have been with Boys' Brigade uniforms.
