The word "POLSKICH" on the flag in the background, translates into the English word POLISH, so not Australian Militia.

Could it be the "Polish Falcons" or similar?
There were paramilitary fraternal organisations founded by emigre Poles living in America. Of course, their goal was a free and united Poland. Recruitment records for the Polish army in France in WW1 show a lot of people with home addresses in the USA, including at least one from Beaverfalls http://feefhs.org/links/Poland/pafi/halrdesc.html http://feefhs.org/links/Poland/pafi/pafi27.html
