Here is Bluey Clark a warrior of some note from Operation Commando in1951, and six platoon's part of The Hinge battle. Bluey was a bit of avirtuoso with that bren gun, and did serious damage to the Chinese troopscounter attacking there.

We had just been relieved from The Hinge and werein a slightly less worrying position here. Little did we know that soon wewould be on the delightful 'Ham sandwich' position, compliments of ourfriends of 3 id.

You can begin to see why we referred to ourselves as'Baggy arses' from the gear worn by Bluey. We weren't in No 1 dress muchof the time, or 2, 3 or 4 for that matter.
