The Battle of Retimo | Artist - Vernon Jones | Australian War Memorial ART27776. The paratroopers depicted on the foreground are men from 4.Kp FschJr-Regiment 2 that actually landed on the northeastern slopes of the hill on top of Australian positions. The Australian machinegun depicted is also in the right place, (a section from 13. Platoon 2/1 MG Battalion) as well as the infantry (men from Platoons 8 & 9, from A Company 2/1 Battalion).
