s far as I know the Southern Cross was used to symbolise that many of these former colonies were in a part of the world where this constellation was visible.
For example, Africa.
And New Guinea~ which was also a German Colony but Australian forces eliminated Germany occupation at the commencement of WWI.

Yeah ~ there was documentary made / shown last year I think on History channel about the Aussies taking the radio station up there and it was obviously one of Australia's first conflicts of WWI ~
Don't quote me ~ but I think there were some 4 Australians KIA there ~

Hi guys!!!
here now I have some difficult life situation) bad internet speed and have little free time...
I forgot to put these videos here, in this thread. Two short clips about the excavation in the north of Stalingrad, this spring.
I did not take photos, only video.
I hope this will be interesting for you.

That is a very nice video Sebastien. I'm glad that the Russian soldier that you found got an honorable funeral and is
now buried with his comrades. May he rest in peace. Thanks for posting.
