Why Australian “authorities” pretend there was only 3 indigenous military personnel enlisted in the Australian military during WW1. Including at official events like dawn war memorial services, and other major memorial days.

Beware. The Tabloid, Aussiewood, Vaudeville, Neo_Natzi Co-Operation Land since WW2 side of Australia rears its extremely ugly head in a very serious way in this one.

Federation into Australia in 1900-1901, where indigenous people who made up the overwhelming majority of the population were wrongfully deprived of the right to vote or run for elected positions, did not create a culture priority of "targeted victims being the one's obliged to pitch in and volunteer to help the perpetrators on request", due to the percentage of indigenous military personnel enlisted during WW1 (over 75%) and WW2 (over 50%).

As a note to go with the episode:

My Great-Grand Uncle General Sir John Monash's awarded World War 1 service medals no longer exist. He left instructions with his family (my family) to destroy them and dispose of them when he died (1931). He requested the metal parts be melted down to small pellets. Then that any flammable material be incinerated to ashes. He asked for the remnants to be disposed of following his specific instructions.

My indigenous Australian Grandmother Duchess and Lady Myrtle Webb the Habsburg was his next of kin when he died. His instructions were carried out by family, and the medals were destroyed and disposed of after his State Funeral in 1931.

Sir John's service medals had not existed for decades before people started trying to steal them starting the 1950's (approximately).

There is false historical information around currently that falsely claims his mother was a Polish Jew called Bertha Monash (really his adopted mother). That Sir John emigrated to Australia with her and her German husband (he was really an indigenous Australian). That he then later married her and had children with her (he was really childless, never married, and homosexual).

They made up the lies to imply there are direct descendants of Sir John, to attempt to claim they should own the medals, instead of indirect real family (mine). Then pretended they perhaps should be in the convenient for European lunatics trying to steal them location of Poland, if they pretend his mother was a Polish Jew and he was born there. If they pretend he has "family" in Poland.

They are talking about Medals that haven't existed as medals since melted and incinerated in 1931, as per the deceased recipients instructions to real family.

It is not unusual for military personnel to ask for their service medals to be destroyed when they die, not passed on to estate beneficiaries, or put in museums. It is considered tradition in some places. A very large percentage of recipients choose to leave instructions asking for that to be done. In some cases, a person who receives them in the recipients estate then does it themselves.
