It is good to see these brave men finally being recognized for their gallantry.
Thanks to all of them for their service to freedom and honor.

An anecdote about how precarious the margin of victory was for them...the Australian force had a minimal allotment of ammunition and mags for their SLR rifles at the time of contact with the VC. They were dropped ammo, but it was in cardboard boxes. The Diggers were having to reload their magazines by hand in the mud while under fire...by the end of the engagement many were effectively reduced to single-shot rifles.
After this came a change in policy...ammo resupply to forces under fire was made in the form of preloaded magazines, instead of clipped or boxed ammo.
