Default Unlikely to be Australian

Hello Cliff,

The film is from a sequence taken in Burma and therefore the man is unlikely to be Australian.

I have seen other photos of African pioneers in these same hats with turned up brim sides.

These units came from Matabeleland, and Bechuanaland amongst other places.

There was also a whole West African Division present fighting in Burma.

Regards

Nick Balmer
