I have actually had the opportunity to meet two Z-Force members (one male, one female) back in 1995 and 2001 while working as a Wardrobe Installer for several companies here in Melbourne, Australia.
GOD BLESS THOSE COMMANDOS & THANKS FOR THEIR SERVICE
in the late 8o's i met a gentleman by of name of Jack Wong Sue (Perth), you would not that thought that he was a Z team member, a very humble man.
My father was Z special unit. Trained on Fraser Island. Went in to Timor a few times I believe
Very interesting video. In 1992 I was one of six RAAF members who participated in a joint Army/RAAF activity, Exercise Bareo Return, organised by Land Warfare Centre, Canungra in remembrance of the close working relationship between Z Special Unit and 200 Flight.
WOW!
I wouldn't be here without "Z"
The distinctive triangular outline of the Leyburn Airfield is still visible on Google maps. I hope this important part of our military history is protected.
I live not far from their training site north of sydney.
That anything this “special” was based on a suggestion by Blamey is almost unbelievable, given his history between the two wars. But having read the books based on the actions of Z Special Group they should be significantly honoured, especially those men executed by the Japanese Army.
The narrator at the end, is that MGuy?
All Great Australian.
my uncle Tom was Z force .
