From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:

Joseph Skovronski was reluctant to send his certificate to the authorities for perusal (in connection with his application for naturalisation), arguing that ‘being a foreigner and wearing my returned soldier’s badge I might at any time be called upon to produce my certificate to the Military Authorities, to prove identity’.
