    I bought a book a few weeks ago that was about the aussies in new guinea. On the front cover was a photo of Australianicon soldiers at Buna in late 1942 and one of them had a no. 4.

    If its the same pic its at Sananada.
    Also some Vic VDC used some small numbers of No4's, there are official pics to confirm.
    The RAAF used No4's in Malaysia/ Borneo and the Army using the No5 up there as well is well known
