I recently checked out Ospreys Britain’s Secret War: The Indonesian Confrontation 1962–66. Interesting stuff. My question is, other then the scarce amount of Australian Vietnam stuff that is available, is there anything else out there that could help build some British and/or Commonwealth troops of the time and place? I looked around and have not found anything particularly useful.
Thanks!

IN a way I guess. I want to know if there is anything produced that is in the pattern of the uniforms and equipment used.
Thanks!
