We're always asked, 'what connects E. H. Shepard to a military museum?' Best known for the bear, Shepard also served in WW1 in France and Italy, and chronicled his experiences through his art. 🎨 ©The Shepard Trust, from The Shepard Trust Archive, University of Surrey (ST/6/2)

It was, of course, E.H. Shepard's RA cap, soon on display in Before & Beyond Winnie-the-Pooh exhibition. The shape is a bit of red herring, as padding inside the cap designed to protect and preserve it, make it look different to how it would appear when worn.
