The only Australian soldiers executed during the war were hanged for civilian crimes, usually murder.  Although more than one received minor sentences of a week or less confinement for raping girls as young as 12 and 13, so ya know, military justice was pretty fucking shabby.

Another, possibly apocryphal, story tells of a group of Geman prisoners heading back through Australian lines. They were shocked to see a group of Australian soldiers come charging out of a trench at them, brandishing knives. The Australians turned out to be a unit of cooks who wanted to souvenir the German troops and they immediately started about cutting off buttons, badges and epaulets while taking anything else of value. In return they stuffed German pockets full of cigarettes and chocolates. Apparently anyway.
