One of my personal favourites

~The New Zealand Order of Merit~

Recognising outstanding service to the Crown and people of New Zealand in a civil or military capacity.

Was established by royal warrant on 30 May 1996 by Queen Elizabeth II, "for those persons who in any field of endeavour, have rendered meritorious service to the Crown and nation or who have become distinguished by their eminence, talents, contributions or other merits".

We join the world in mourning her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II.

We thank Her Majesty for her unwavering duty to the Crown, and the Commonwealth, as she touched millions of people's hearts across the globe.

Rest in peace and love.

So let me tell you a 'tail' this …

New Zealand servicemen of the First World War were distinguished by their hats. Dubbed the iconic kiwi ‘lemon squeezer’ because of their shape, these hats were first worn by the Taranaki Rifles Regiment. The design was inspired by Mt Taranaki, however, it was practical because it allowed rain to run off.
The lemon squeezer hat was replaced for working dress by a battledress cap in October 1956. It was retained for ceremonial use until August 1961 and then reintroduced again for ceremonial use in 1978 and is still worn today. Similar hats to the lemon squeezer were worn by both the US Army and the Canadians during World War 1.

Now that's a bit of hiss-tory!
