The war raged on and the Army had authorized the "rabbit cap".
I've never heard it called that, but I know what they meant. They meant the Garrison Cap, or Overseas Cap. That useless piece of headgear which every soldier was afflicted with in varying degrees for decades, and which is still worn by Veterans Organizations.
World War One soldier wearing the complete assortment of wartime gear, including the garrison cap, puttees, and wartime roughout "Pershing boots". He is carrying the M1917 Enfield Rifle, rather than the M1903.
But it was around forever.
