According to Wiki they were introduced as the headdress for the pipers of The Irish Guards in 1916.
Looks to me like a Scottish bonnet but blocked differently. (The rest of the pipers' costume for The Irish Guards pipes & drums was borrowed from Highland Dress: kilt, sporran, kilt hose, dirk belt and crossbelt.)
