Pappy , Sorry I do not know if there were any , but will ask around .
This book only covers the period up to 1928 . I think the Fifth were in Burma during WW11 . I know an Australian Btn. relieved a Gurkha Btn in the Malayan emergency in the 60s but apart from that my knowledge of their joint involvement is zero. Will get back to you should I discover anything. Rod
