Ooh, snaffle.
All fodder for my general OOB notes, though I'm not sure I'll try representing '27 Australian Pigeon Loft' in game ;_)
Edited to add there's some fascinating detail buried in the individual unit links - 1 Australian Farm Company, for instance, has a discussion of the difficulty in keeping troops healthy when the nearest fresh fruit and veg is a 5 day train journey and 4 days in the back of a truck away. Not necessarily relevant to WITP, but fascinating if you have a wider interest in the campaign.

Don, you are simply the best.
From motorboats,
To zygotes,
You find them all,
Big or small.
Thank you. John

I was impressed by the very large number of US Tankers that visited Darwin in the last few months of 1945. Something to do with recovering oil fields in the NEI??

There is even more of this detail in the war diaries of the units, especially in the setting up of a military force of 20,000+ in an area where only 2-3000 people live and 4000km from the next major base.

Don -
Attention to detail is the key;
"Excellence in all that you do".
Thank You, Sir!
