Cpl. Robert Steinberg's uncle lived in Australia,
"Steiny" asked for and received this genuine Akubra hat. It was quite
a hit with his squadron members and many of them borrowed it to look "cool"
when their photographs were taken. All was well and many pictures
were taken until one day the hat blew out the "hell hole" at 6,000', that
was the end of the hat and the "cool" photographs.
