Recently got back from six weeks of research in-theatre, including approx. half the time down south with a line inf. bn. Fascinating stuff. Michael C, you're quite right. I went out on a good number of patrols, and saw the disconnects.

Much more in-country research to follow - mid-December to mid-January and April through August.

In the meantime, I'm looking at the history of int cells. I think I've found most of the related articles, but there are certainly still large holes in the story. Any contacts would be appreciated.

I'd also love a chance to send anyone who's had int cell experiences a list of questions (the more responses, the better the overall data).

Finally, if anyone is interested in discussing my more detailed impressions, please feel free to PM me.
