SvC 10|3 General Sir John Monash: Part 3. Died 1931. My Grandmother and Her Immediate Royal Webb the Habsburg Family were in the Guard of Honour at his State Funeral Along St Kilda Road, Past the Shrine of Rememberance.

Died 1931. My Father Duke & Lord Kevin Webb the Habsburg was his Grand-Nephew. He was in the Guard of Honour at Sir John's State Funeral in 1931, at the Age of 15 Months Old.

My Father was being Carried by Sir John's Sexual Partner when he Died, A Homosexual Part Turkish Man who was Technically Eligible for a Minor Royal Title in the Old Ottoman Empire.

General Sir John left instructions asking for his World War 1 Service Medals and Memorabilia to be incinerated, with the metal parts melted down to very small cylindrical pellets..

He requested the remains then be placed in the repository (for that purpose) at the Shrine of Rememberance on St Kilda Road, that he helped design and get built. His instructions were followed immediately after his State Funeral in 1931.

As he was Homosexual and childless, his service medals will never be re-issued. By law, service medals can only be re-issued to a legitimate child of the reicpient, and only under strict requirements.

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.
