Berets were commonly worn by Frebch boys, but no girls. We see them being worn in other countris. We see quite a few German boys wearing them. In America younger boys might wear berets. And they were very common for girls in the inter-War era, usually called tsns. We virtually never see English boys wearing berrts and we so not see them being worn by boys as part of school uniforms. We do see girls wearing bertet aspart of their school uniform in England, but not boys. Berets were faitky common for the gurls. Boy Scouts after World War II adopted berets, but not schools, at least for boys. We found one portrait of one class of younger boys wearing berets. We do not believe the berets were opart of theur school unifirm, although all the boys are wearing them. It looks like an Anglican or a prep school class. We are not sure what to make of it. We think it might be a class group studying French. Perhaps there is another explanation, but we can not think of it.
