The First Time NVA Saw AUSTRALIAN SAS In Action in Vietnam!

This comes from the Australian War Memorial's collection and its own historical writing on the Tet Offensive, cross-referenced against the operational record for Operation Coburg and the Battle of Coral–Balmoral that followed it months later, plus the publication and production history of the book and film that first put the SAS's Vietnam service in front of an Australian audience.
