WW1 British 'Roof Found' Trench Cap From Amiens Area Of France

A British WW1 trench cap recently found in the roof of a house in the Amiens area of France.
This pattern of cap was widely seen in the late war period & due to its lightweight construction could be easily stowed away in the soldiers kit when not being worn. This rather worn & threadbare in places cap still bears visible letter under number markings to interior lining . The 'L' is likely a depot marking for 'Lambeth' . There is a split to the front upper seam of the cap where the stitching has gone & the cloth has weakened somewhat with age. Offered completely as found & as a piece of history the circumstances in which this cap came to be tucked into the eaves of a roof there remains to this day a complete mystery.
