Who are the best jungle troops?
This was shot in the jungle in Guatemala, but isn't exactly a proper Guatemala video, in that it isn't about the country I was in. I just took the opportunity to do a walking piece to camera (since I had a cameraman) in a jungle (since it is about jungles).

This topic brings to mind another potential British Empire biography subject for your consideration: Colonel Jim Corbett. The author of Maneaters of Kumaon and motivating force behind establishment of the now eponymous Tiger preserve in India, I seem to recollect that Corbett volunteered as an instructor in jungle survival for the British Army during WWII, a task he was supremely qualified for.
I’d actually nominate the Australians as some of the best jungle fighters. We have the experience in ww2, Malaya and Vietnam to develop skills
Agreed, although I'd point out that they were, like the British, part of the same Commonwealth army fighting the same enemy, learning the same lessons, in the same places.
