Under Furred Hats. 6th A.L.H. Regt [1919, Australian Light Horse]
Author: Geo. L Berrie (George Lachlan) (Lieut.)
Year: 1919
Digitised by Google Books from the collection at Princeton University, see Source. If necessary, click on Show More, below. The Regiment served at Gallipoli, and in Egypt and Palestine. The title Under Furred Hats probably refers to the Slouch Hat which is made from rabbit-fur felt (or wool felt), see “Origin of the Slouch Hat” https://amosa.org.au/stories-and-events/militaria/origin-of-the-slouch-hat . Also “SME Spotlight: You can leave your hat on“ https://www.australiandefence.com.au/news/sme-spotlight-you-can-leave-your-hat-on . It may perhaps refer to the fact that the puggaree worn on the slouch hat was made from possum/wallaby fur.
