May they rest in peace Lest We Forget
Always was - Always will be
If people call themselves Australians - whatever their cultural heritage that they are free to celebrate in this country- that photo is our Australian history in one picture. It says it all - let us not forget the quiet Australians who gave their all as servicemen and service women, for the Australians we are today on 11/11. Let us also not forget the many folks from all walks and cultures who carried the banner in civilian life, throughout our history, to make Australia the OZ we cherish today.

The statement is incorrect in terms of the chain of command. The Governor-General of Australia, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force, would not appoint the King to military ranks. In fact, King Charles III, as the monarch of Australia, is already the head of the armed forces by virtue of his position. Any appointments of honorary ranks would typically be a formal recognition by the Australian Government or military but not by the Governor-General to the monarch, as the King holds authority over these roles.
Congratulations King Charles, and I hope that you enjoy your visit to our beautiful country.
Welcome to you both. Enjoy your stay in Australia.
