This hour-long film was shot in January and February 1944 at the Services Reconnaissance Department's Operative training facility, the Fraser Commando School, located on Queensland's Fraser Island.

Of interest to the forum's membership are several sequences which include such munitions as Limpets, Rigid and the wreath charge. The demolitions section of the film begins at approx 53:45.

I'm trying to secure a better copy to extract clear, high resolution stills.
 
Incidentally, if you have an interest in WWII combatives, small arms technique or small raiding craft there's a fair bit in this film.
