The most credible theory is that Queensland and the Victoria Cross became allied as a result of the fact that the Victoria Cross is a form of the Maltese Cross. The Victoria Cross was first offered in 1857 by Queen Victoria at the close of the Crimean War and Queensland was established as an independent state in 1859, just two years later.
