This American is VERY appreciative of our Australian allies. Australia is the only country that fought with us in every major war we were involved in during the 20th Century and some of us have not forgotten.
Cheers
Steph

That is apparently why the naval Ensign was changed - because the Australians were flying the flag of a power that was not engaged in the theatre of war.
