I am in this camp too. I knew of French involvement before the US but during what we know as the Vietnam War, I knew almost nothing of the involvement of other nations like Australia, and deeply embarrassing for me, Canada who apparently sent 40,000 troops between '59 - '75. You learn something new every day, and some days are more humbling then others.
It is great to hear that Aussies are getting a long deserved recognition.
