I see these hats in alot of pipe bands, worn by the major. I just don't know what they are called, and I can't seem to find it on the web! Does anyone know?

Like in the Korean War at the Battle of the Imjin River where the Colonel of the six hundred or so soldiers of the Gloucestershire Regiment who were holding off some sixty thousand irate Chinese troops told his American Commander over the radio that "things were getting a bit tricky" it was no ones fault that the American did not quite understand the "Glosters" position!
