Don't know if any of you lads know or know of Paul Duffy or Greg Barnett. These Australian SAS lads knew some of us
in MACVSOG . Then there is Dave Procopis-the Greek God of Williamtown. I knew these folks when I was with the 5th Special Forces Gp and SOG 71-72.

Chosin Reservoir was quite a fight in Korea. An excellent book is BreakOut-by Martin Russ.
The Royal Marines were attached to the 1st Marine Division at Chosin. It was quite a fight against
the Chinese, not the NorKs in that extended battle. The US Army was on the West side of the reservoir.
Excellent book.

Yes-the M-14 was used by the US well into the 70s.
I carried a Car-15, a 1911, Randall knife and 2-in Smith snubbed revolver hideout in
my back pocket in I -Corps. Lots of grenades. Best not to be captured as they hated SOG.
We got some of the first 30-rd magazines made by Colt.
