Aussie/NZ SASR during the Vietnam War
Well nice to see at least 1 Aussie mention, but I'd correct one thing. The only Kiwi's there were part of 2/4th Battalion RAR.... not the SAS.

I'd add:
The Light Horse at Bersheeba
The Light Horse at Galipolli
The 10th/27th Infantry Battalion (Highest decorated Australian Unit, 48 battle honours in 2 wars, and 11 Victoria Crosses)
3RAR at Kapyong
6RAR at Long Tan
Z Troop commandos in Timor against the Japanese
39th Battalion at Isurava
The "Rats of Tobruk"

It seems to me that the Australians are the forgotten army by the rest of the world when it comes to recognising brave actions.

Just to add another, just to prove I'm not totally biased.
How about the SOG in Vietnam. Awesome soldiers, for Americans
