25.01.2022 #DYK that when the slouch hat is worn at Royal Military College Duntroon, it is traditionally worn with the chinstrap buckle on the right side of the face and... the brim down? The hat is worn this way as a mark of respect and remembrance to General Bridges, the first commander of the 1st Australian Imperial Force, found wearing his slouch hat back to front when he was fatally wounded at Gallipoli. With historical roots predating 1885, the slouch hat became a famous symbol of the ANZACs during the First World War and continues to be worn by all Australian Army personnel. Today the slouch hat singularly and unambiguously defines and describes who we are. To read more about the history of the slouch hat, head to: https://www.army.gov.au/our-histo/traditions/the-slouch-hat.
