Thread: Australian 7th Division - What a history.

My Uncle started his' AIF' career as a WO1 in 6th Div (was a Regular Soldier based at a Fort at Port Phillip heads) . He too was around 6th Div during the early battles against the Italians in Libya, etc. The Germans in Greece and so on. I do not think that any Division is better than the other, some just got better publicity and some are written about more by the Historians.
It was and still is a very important Division for Australia with much written about them. However when compared to the 7th and 9th division and publicity, imo the 6th AIF Div is the one pushed aside by the others. Even with it's grand history, like i also said, the 9th Div imo became the publicity legends they are by the long and very sucessful fighting against Germans.

I have seen several but not this one. I also have seen the thread that deals with this and other Kokoda Doco's/films.
Yeah i suppose after such fighting in the Western Desert's (Tobruk), in 1941 & late 1942 El Alamein, also being posted aspart of the Occupation force of Syria during much of 1942, the 9th Div AIF morale would of been very high, with espirt de corps to spare.
I'll have to watch the Vid.
