G’day Bob,
We are finding out more as we dig into it.
Of the 30 wounded 1 was from NZ and 4 were 1 Troop.
We’ll keep working on it.

G’day Bob,
I have worked out the map and have found Nui Le.
The history says 30 were wounded, there is only 22 on the list.
3 B Coy are missing and 3 D Coy.I’ll see what I can find out.
Regards
