7th Australian Division
Relating to this old post does anyone have details of the units in the 7th Australian Division at the time of the landings at Balikpapan in July 1945, especially the Engineers or REME units that may have used these 'A' frame CMP Derricks, mentioned above.
NB - Sorry if it should be Royal Australian Engineers etc - I have no knowledge of the Australian Army!
Finally - This Japanese Type 94 tank in use with the Japanese Navy was captured at Balikpapan and is of the type that my father saw abandoned near Balikpapan. It still exists in Australia in the AWM I think.
