" Following the Spanish-American War, Spain ceded the Philippine Islands to the U.S. The resulting conflict [Philippine Insurrection, 1899-1902] and later with the Muslim Moro's of Mindanao led to U.S. combat operations in the P.I.'s until 1913. Having to cope with tropical rain and monsoonal weather, U.S. troops began forming their M1898 and M1905 slouch-style Campaign Hat's into a Montana Peak to more effectively shed water. This led to the M1911 [Montana Peak] Campaign Hat which became an issue item. " bushcraftusa.com/forum/showthread.php/64186-Campaign-Hat-aka-Montana-peak/page2?s=494d19d2b6f8d2bc6edbab8f5f39aede
