I believed or was lead to believe that this plain pugaree ,British made felt hat from WW1 ,was an exclusively Australian worn one .But this is British manufactured slouch hat, not an Australian manufactured and issued slouch hat

But as pointed out to me in another thread by old Attila ,and with further research ,I have found good evidence of the plain pugaree felt hat being worn by some New Zealanders .Although due to regulations should be worn with the brim down post September 1916
