Agreed as our ANZAC's endevours are well recorded I have enough books here on them through the WW's to keep me company in my ash pot for eons, the 39th in New Guinea stopping the hordes of IJA soldiers at their own game jungle warfare the first time they had been beaten don't get me wrong it was a near thing with our experienced AIF battalions in Africa the 39th did a great job that saved Australia.
We were used in WWI as shock troops no mean feat in that ghastly affair the Germans were solemnly afraid of us as our troops were very adept in using the cold steel attached to the end of their rifles in the narrow trenches, but to be fair they were all the soldiers fighting for our freedom great to do what they did to allow us to do exactly as we wish today.Information
