Great piece, Rob. Did they go through the jungle training school that my grandfather set up I wonder? Am guessing some did. Great subject, not enough written about it, glad you atee both rectifying that!
An important training ground for Australian participants in Vietnam. Thinking particularly of Major H Smith at Long Tan. By that time Owen guns were out of favour, and Smith recommended their removal from TOE.
One for the wish list
Interesting to see an M2 also. (Full Auto M1 carbine). Again not renowned for its stopping power. Although better than 9mm I believe.
Interesting. Thanks Rob.

Reading the obituary today of a Māori who trained them in Jungle tactics.
