As usual the Aussies are in there kicking arse and not getting the international press. In WWII they spearheaded many movements in the western front. Numerically small but as Wellard said VERY high quality. As far as 'official coalition newsbriefs' go: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/National/story_46972.asp Quote:

Poland also has 200 troops in the Gulf, not sure if these are combat troops or more likely a support unit.

I've read that only US, UK, Australia, Denmark and Poland has troops in Iraq.
All other countries in the list we had some days ago support US but didnt send any troops.

Thanks for the articles and info, Hugh! I knew Australia had troops there, just not what they were doing.

I heard on a story on Moran on NPR. Quite an amazing journalist and did work that is being quotes years later. Sounds like he was a groundbreaker. He will be missed.
