The historical banner from today looks like it would make an interesting "AK-47"-ish scenario. link Jim

There is a very good movie about it on Netflix.

The movie really was rather good. A much bigger action than depicted in the movie.
John Leahy	13 Sep 2017 3:32 p.m. PST

Great Movie ..though the Banner Picture is from atop the tunnel at Elisabethville..not Jadotville…Kind of a Irish Alamo..except no Irish died,,good commander Pat Quinlan. the relief couldn't make it and they ran out of ammo.

Does anyone have any idea the actual organisation of the rifle company? I know it had 3 platoons and a support platoon with vickers MMG and 60mm mortars and 84mm Carl Gustav rocket launchers. Does anyone know just how much ammo they had. The film shows a mixture of lee enfields and FN rifles. I understood the lee enfields were all replaced by FNs. Can't anyone confirm? I know key staff also had Carl Gustav SMGs. Thanks
