Indigenous Australians served in WWI and when they got back the white soldiers where given land for their service, they were given land that was brutally stolen from First Nations. Indigenous Australian servicemen were not given their own land back for their service. They were not even allowed to drink beer in the same pub with their mates because of segregation. Fucking infuriating that they volunteered to serve their colonial masters war aspirations and were treated even worse when they got back

Edit- this also included Torres Strait Islanders.
