Thanks for the info. I guess it never actually used in battle then.

Remember that is an Australian Cadet Unit. I have never seen that coloured band system in use in the UK.

In the UK, coloured bands (usually based on Arm of Service colours) were often used by Army Cadet Force Units to differentiate their rifles from those of other units.
