What is symbolic meaning of the slouch hat?
In Australia's colonial years, the felt slouch hat was adopted by New South Wales for its mounted troops. In 1885, it became part of the uniform of the Victorian Mounted Rifles, and in 1890 the felt hat was then adopted by the military for its defence forces. It was upturned on one side, largely for practical reasons, as during rifle drills, it would get in the way. Upturning the right side prevented this problem, but later it became upturned on the left hand side. There is a great deal more symbolism involved with the development of the slouch hat within each of the states. More information can be found at the related link.
What hat do they wear on Anzac day?
ANZAC Day is a time when people who have served in Australia's armed forces wear their uniforms and their medals. Relatives of anyone who has served in the forces, who has since died, also wear the medals and insignias earned by those who served. Other people wear ordinary clothes, though many will wear a red poppy out of respect.
Did the colonists had a stronger Navy than the British navy?
The American Colonies in the time of the American Revolution most certainly did not have a stronger navy, in terms of pure numbers or technology. England was, around that time, the most powerful naval power in the world. There is no doubt to that fact. The Royal Navy employed well over 600 vessels, from tiny sloops to first-rate ships of the line. However, their navy was not employed in one area; Great Britain had naval forces spread over the earth as a result of their size and power. Ships patrolled the waters around various British colonies and such, or were engaged in wars or operated out of naval bases located throughout the world. Halifax, in Nova Scotia, was the headquarters of the British North American Squadron and they operated out of that port for the majority of the American Revolution and War of 1812. The Colonies had the advantage of fighting in their home waters, which they knew well. Many of the sailors and captains in the Continental Navy were originally merchants or had worked in the Royal Navy in the past, and as such had the advantage of local knowledge and tactics and training employed in the Royal Navy, on top of the fact that the North American squadron was not provided with the number of ships and men they requested, and were thus limited in their fight against the rebelling colonists, whereas the colonists had numerous ports to operate out of which. The American Navy managed to win the Revolution through a combination of luck, skill, and misfortune on the part of the British, on top of the established European superpower of the French fleet. british had a stronger navy.
Why is there a slouch hat on Anzac Day?
There was a very practical reason for the slouch hat. it was pinned up on one side so that the men could stand with their rifles pointing vertically at their side, without knocking their hat off. The slouch hat was unique to the ANZAC diggers. Even though it came into use in the Australian defence forces during the late 1800s, it became a real symbol of the ANZAC troops, with its distinctive shape. The diggers were known for their courage and loyalty, and the image of the slouch hat on the ANZAC troops became synonymous with the stories of courage that came out from the war, thanks to war correspondents such as C E W Bean. CEW Bean was the Australian official war correspondent, and later official war historian of the time. He landed with the ANZACs at Gallipoli, and his writings contributed significantly to the development and growth of the ANZAC legend. His detailed reports on the landing and subsequent battle/s provided a unique and personal perspective on the events, and within his stories reports was acknowledgement of the slouch hat as symbolic of self-sacrifice and loyalty as the ANZAC troops went about their business without complaint.

What are the symbols of remembrance other than services for the Anzacs?
The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance. After WWI, on the very fields of Flanders (northern France and Belgium) where so many soldiers had shed their blood, red poppies grew in abundance afterwards. The poppy is not just a symbol of remembrance for the ANZACs, but for all the Allied forces. Exclusive to the ANZACs is the "rising sun" emblem - the ANZACs wore the "Rising Sun" badge on the up-turned brim of a slouch hat, which was so shaped as to allow the soldier to hold his weapon in an upright position without it knocking into the hat. Rosemary is another symbol of remembrance, and has been since long before the ANZACs. It is sitll used today. The catafalque is a raised platform which symbolises the platform upon which a coffin would rest. ANZAC services often feature a catafalque, upon which wreaths of flowers may be laid at the closure of the service. Sometimes a remembrance stone takes the place of the catafalque.
