Having a hand written note from Mr Feller within the cap that reads: "The kaki cap was worn by many in the Pacific 1943-to today. Its was originally a baseball cap the players from the U.S.S. Alabama wore in their games during the Pacific campaign 1943-45". This style cap would have been worn by Mr. Feller himself during his time. it is unknown where or how Bob had acquired this cap, yet the relevance to his legacy speaks volumes through this item of the life he lived.
