While Indigenous soldiers experienced some degree of equality while serving with the Australian armed forces during the World Wars, many faced dispossession, discrimination, and exclusion upon their return home. For some, this included the removal of their children.
There is only one identified Aboriginal Australian soldier buried among the hundreds of Commonwealth First World War graves at Outtersteene Communal Cemetery Extension.
Miller Mack was one of 21 Ngarrindjeri men from the Point McLeay Mission (now known as Raukkan) and the surrounding region to enlist for service in the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War.
