A special mention must be made of the AATV [ Australian Army Training Team Vietnam ] the likes of which will probably never be seen again. 4 VC's, numerous other decorations, possibly the highest decorated unit in the commonwealth. Bob

Just in case you can not count I must point out that the above is a fact. ;)
One was and always will be First, then 2, perhaps only second to one, followed by the turd battalion. :cool:

Ya gotta love your own first, look, there it is again! :D

Ps; to all the grunts out there, 'A DUTY DONE' has just come my way, it is an enthralling read, author Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Fred Fairhead. It chronicles all the Regiments activities during the Viet Nam War, (Viet Nam was always two words).
