Certainly! The designation "A 2/6th" typically refers to 'A' Company of the 2/6th Battalion, a unit that has appeared in several Commonwealth forces, most notably the Australian Army during World War II. The 2/6th Battalion was raised in October 1939 as part of the Second Australian Imperial Force and was assigned to the 17th Brigade, 6th Australian Division. The battalion saw significant action in the North African Campaign, including the battles of Bardia and Tobruk, and later served in Greece, Crete, and the Pacific. 'A' Company, as a frontline sub-unit, participated in these campaigns, enduring heavy combat and contributing to the battalion's distinguished wartime record before being disbanded in 1946.
