The Lemon Squeezer v Mounted Rifle Hat The lemon squeezer, after being in abeyance since the 1950s, was reintroduced for ceremonial wear in 1977. Officer cadets and the New Zealand Army Band wear this headdress with a scarlet and blue full dress uniform. The wide brimmed khaki hat with green puggaree, of a pattern formerly worn by the New Zealand Mounted Rifle regiments, replaced the khaki No 2British Army peaked cap as service dress headdress for all branches in 1998. In 2012, it was announced that the MRH (Mounted Rifle hat) was to become the standard Army ceremonial headdress with the lemon squeezer being retained only for colour parties and other limited categories.
