Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples had a long history of serving in Australia's military forces, but they faced significant discrimination and barriers to enlistment, particularly before and during the early years of WWII. ### Discrimination and Barriers to Enlistment: - **Early Restrictions**: Until World War II, there were formal restrictions on Indigenous Australians serving in the military. The Australian Defence Force did not officially accept Aboriginal people for military service, and they were often excluded from mainstream recruitment efforts. However, some Indigenous individuals managed to enlist in earlier conflicts, including WWI, though often under assumed identities or by lying about their heritage. - **World War II**: Despite official policies that still excluded Aboriginal people, the manpower shortages caused by the war led to more flexible recruitment practices. Aboriginal soldiers were eventually accepted into the Australian Army, but their enlistment was still often subject to local commanders' discretion. In some instances, Aboriginal soldiers were only allowed to serve in non-combat roles, such as in support or labor battalions. ### Treatment During Service: - **Segregation and Discrimination**: Aboriginal soldiers often faced racism both from their fellow soldiers and from higher-ranking officers. They were sometimes segregated in military camps, given less favorable duties, or placed in units with lower prestige. However, in certain cases, Indigenous soldiers formed close bonds with their fellow servicemen, and there were instances where they served alongside non-Indigenous soldiers without incident. - **Roles and Contributions**: Aboriginal soldiers served in various roles during WWII, including in combat positions, as part of special forces, in medical units, and in support roles. Some Indigenous soldiers served in areas such as the Australian Infantry, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Notably, some Indigenous soldiers served in the defence of northern Australia during the Japanese attacks on Darwin and other parts of the country. ### Post-War Treatment: - **Discrimination Continues**: After the war, many Indigenous veterans faced difficulties in accessing veterans' benefits and support. Despite their service, they were often excluded from post-war programs and the rights extended to non-Indigenous veterans. It wasn’t until the 1960s and later that Aboriginal soldiers began to receive recognition for their contributions, although many veterans still felt marginalized and overlooked by mainstream Australian society. - **Recognition and Legacy**: It took decades before the broader public and the Australian government fully acknowledged the sacrifices made by Indigenous soldiers during WWII. In recent years, efforts have been made to honor their service, with commemorations and the inclusion of Indigenous stories in national remembrance activities. However, the history of their service is still not widely taught, and many Aboriginal veterans did not receive the recognition they deserved during their lifetimes. In summary, while many Indigenous Australians served with distinction during WWII, they faced significant barriers, discrimination, and exclusion both during and after the war. The story of their service is an important part of Australia's military history, and ongoing efforts are being made to ensure that their contributions are recognized.>> <<@roytaylor7807 says : A degusting speech by a very woke woman>> <<@paulchilds9137 says : Did aborigines get soldier settler grants>> <<@SmallWonda says : Quite so - it's awful...>> <<@davidhanak2767 says : SLAMS!!!>> <<@trevorsteel6605 says : Until the Indigenous Activists learn to FORGIVE nothing will change.

My nanna and I many years ago created a name for all those Australians, because that's who they were, they were OUR AUSTIGINES peoples or now AUSTIGENOUS peoples.
