SvC 10|1 General Sir John Monash: Part 1. Born John Mussolini. Indigenous to Gippsland. Uncle of my Indigenous Grandmother Duchess & Lady Myrtle Webb the Habsburg.

During war memorial services in Australia, there used to be a line used at most (if not all) services, where written material was read out during the service.

It was an acknowledgement of Indigenous Miiltary, that simply stated the following, approximately:

"And, of course, we acknowledge the THREE QUARTERS of military personnel who were indigenous, that were enlisted in Australia's military during World War 1, approximately."

It was used as a stock standard line in services starting shortly after WW1.

In the early 1950's, the people reading the services nationwide were told to leave out the words "three quarters", when reading the document. Just skip over them.

The words "three quarters" are still on the written script for memorial services, but are skipped and not read out loud, whenever that is the case.
