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.

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.
