Army Ranger Wing East Timor images

Hello, you uploaded three images from the Defences Force Flickr as ARW images. File:ARW EastTimor1.jpg, File:ARW EastTimor2.jpg and File:ARW EastTimor3.jpg. None of the descriptions in the images on Flickr state they are ARW. From what I have read, the ARW was in East Timor from October 1999 until June 2000 - two rotations. Flick has the year of 2001 for ARW EastTimor3.jpg that would make the deployment a platoon from an infantry battalion and not ARW. None of these photos are the ones released years ago around 2000 on the Defences Force website as ARW in East Timor. Are you sure these are ARW and not infantry?

Hey, as far as I remember these images were all labelled as ARW from another account but were then later taken from the DF Flickr because the originals were deleted on Wikipedia due to copyright. I wasn't the one to put the original "ARW" labelled images on Wiki. Although you could very well be correct, I am confident File:ARW EastTimor1.jpg is an ARW image due to no national flag on the shoulders and no rankings. As for the other two, I am quite sure I remember them being featured in an ARW video or media piece, however it needs further investigation. Let me know what you think!
