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.
