Matilda tanks in the war against Japan

Australian Matildas supply a historical comparison for armour in jungle warfare, with New Zealand participation left uncertain.

Notes

Australian use of Matilda tanks in jungle fighting provides a historical comparison for the proposed deployment of armour to Malaya. Their usefulness is connected to ease of maintenance and keeping them operational. New Zealand participation is mentioned tentatively, with Australia identified confidently.
