File talk:Troops of the Eight nations alliance 1900.jpg

Incorrect caption! The caption reads: ''Troops of the Eight nations alliance of 1900. Left to right: Britain, United States, Russia, British India, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Japan.''

However the person identified as a Russian was an Australian, as part of a colonial naval unit. Montalban (talk) 00:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * INCORRECT. He was in fact from the Russian navy. Change it back.

he is confirmed to be Australian. http://www.4808.info/html/2008-05/4469p2.html 72.53.146.220 (talk) 06:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

This has been confused. Somebody confused Austria-Hungary with Australia, changing the picture so it now reads "Britain, United States, Australia (British Empire colony at this time), India (British Empire colony at this time), Germany (Prussia at this time), France, Russia, Italy, Japan.". The third from the right should be AustriaHungary (for example this image of an Austria-Hungarian navvy shows a similar uniform https://web.archive.org/web/20120608162212/http://chinamarine.org/Portals/0/ALLIES/austria.jpg ). No idea on whether the third from the left is Australian or Russian as the confirmed-link above does not work. Flamefew (talk) 04:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
