Editing Slouch hat (section)

===United Kingdom===
Some units of the British Army sent to South Africa during the Boer War adopted the slouch hat, particularly members of the Imperial Yeomanry, and retained its use on their return to the UK after the war.  Though the Service Cap became standard after the formation of the Territorial Force in 1908, the Royal East Kent Mounted Rifles used them for ceremonial purposes until around 1910. <ref>Mollo, Boris (2006).

During World War II, British soldiers serving in the jungles of Burma often wore the slouch hat.

Post war, the [[Brigade of Gurkhas|Gurkhas]] are the only unit which retained the use of a version of the slouch hat. The primary version is the [[Terai hat]], after the [[Terai region]] in Nepal. A version called the Double Terai has a double thick crown and brim for additional sun protection and durability.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=21bmlRll1EEC&pg=PA83|page=83|title = Safari: The Last Adventure|isbn = 9781466803985|last1 = Capstick|first1 = Peter Hathaway|date = 1984|publisher=St. Martin's Publishing }}</ref>
