Pillbox Caps (Hats?) as seen above and below.
Is it Pillbox or Pill box? is either the correct name?
Tell us everything about them.

According to the Wonderful Wizard of Wikipedia,
" ... In the 19th century pillboxes were worn by the units of the British Army and its overseas possessions as well as by the Boys Brigade. ..."
See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_hat#

I vote for pillbox ...
