I found this very interesting memorial in Kuching, Sarawak in 2022. Dedicated to all the Heroes in the #MalayanEmergency and the Confrontation. Many plaques of British, Australian and NZ SAS regiments who aided by the amazing IBAN trackers or Sarawak Rangers, first rate men ⚔️
Heroes Memorial Park, Taman Budaya, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia
3/5 Traces of #WWII, the #MalayanEmergency and the #Confrontation or #Konfrontasi are few and far between in #Kuching #Sarawak
It seems to be concentrated at the #HeroesMemorialPark #Malaysia

High tea at the Lakehouse in #CameronHighlands 🫖
Or you could take your pick from one of many tea plantations in CH.
The new & old BOH tea plantations one of the best in CH.
RA batteries saw action at the old BOH tea plantation, with its #NissenHuts during the #MalayanEmergency
This is #TanahRata #CameronHighlands
There’s #History here, you’ll find British #NissenHuts (at Barracks) and the old #BritishMilitaryHospital in use until 1971 #MalayanEmergency
The BMH in Tanah Rata was originally conceived as a British "change-of-air" station, a designated, cooler, high-altitude location in the Cameron Highlands of Malaya, these stations provided R&R for British and allied troops stationed in Malaya. The BMH became a Catholic school from 1971. Watch the drone footage from 2022 to get a bird’s eye view of the BMH.
2/4 An aerial view of the former #British Military Hospital, during the #MalayanEmergency right up to 1971, which became a #RomanCatholic School thereafter in #TanahRata the #CameronHighlands
I had to watch those trees as the

The kind of jungle clad terrain that #MadMikeCalvert would have encountered whilst training the Malayan Scouts SAS during the #MalayanEmergency using the jungle warfare doctrine he developed in #Burma & #India. #BrigMikeCalvert
@Gluepot07 @JEPnews @barnthorn I know Rupert has poured his life and sole into this book - a good read!

@Npteggchaser @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray Indeed, Zipper was a risky Operation.
Malaya was a confused mess in the last days of Japanese occupation as #JohnDavis #SOE #Force136 narrated in “Our Man In Malaya” - He was friends with #ChinPeng, leader of the #MCP who would turn on #Britain post #SWW in the #MalayanEmergency
3/3 The #BritishEmpire brought forth so many interesting & colourful characters like #JohnDavis: #SOE leader (former #SpecialBranch officer S’pore) in #Japanese occupied #Malaya (#Force136) & later his nemesis #ChinPeng & traitor of traitors #LaiTeck during the #MalayanEmergency
On the 12 July 1948, Captain Nick Neil and elements of B Coy 2nd Battalion, 2nd Gurkha Rifles, conducted one of the first successful attacks on a Communist fighters camp near Ipoh in Malaya. #GurkhaHistory #MalayanEmergency #MilitaryHistory #GurkhaRifles
A very interesting colonial/post-colonial period in South East Asia.
It’s all interconnected, the Dutch East Indies, the British #MalayanEmergency and French Indochina.
#British PM #HaroldWilson and his #Labour Government had a hard time with the #Vietnam question.
When Harold Wilson urged Lyndon Johnson not to escalate hostilities in Vietnam in 1965, he did so not because he was morally opposed to the war or thought the war was intractable but because he was concerned about the likely impact of U.S. actions on his own domestic power base. Wilson’s stance of providing moral but not military support for U.S. policy in Vietnam caused anger and disillusionment among leftwing Labour Party activists and members of Parliament, spurring them to active opposition against Wilson’s government. Even so, Wilson managed to prevent a major schism within his government and party over the Vietnam War. His attempts to broker a peace deal between the combatants were largely designed to placate Labour Party activists while raising Wilson’s profile as a world statesman. Although the initiatives did not generate any progress toward a ceasefire, they were relatively successful on the domestic front.
Not sure where to find a POV on this, but there are books on the Second #MalayanEmergency
I’ve been wanting to rediscover this period,
the time will come for this, we’re not going anywhere 😏
The upsurge of armed struggle in Malaysia,
https://t.co/My3epC6T31
represents one of the lesser noticed repercussions of the 1968 developments in Vietnam and China.
We stopped by a memorial on the Thai/Malaysian border at #Betong this morning.
It’s a memorial to the policeman who were killed during the the Second #MalayanEmergency from 1968 to 1989.
The #MCP ambushed security forces in the Kroh–Betong border area, killing 17 on 17 June 1968.

Fantastic book launch last night at Royal Fusiliers Regimental HQ in the Tower of London. Attended by many family and friends, a great evening was had by all. General George would have approved!!

Very excited that my books have arrived. With book launches scheduled at the Tower of London and in Jersey, George Lea’s story as one of the key post WW2 British Army counterinsurgency leaders can now be told……

#NissenHuts, who remembers them❓
The #Barracks Cafe-Restaurant in #TanahRata has some old Nissen Huts that were last used by the #BritishArmy during the #MalayanEmergency in the #CameronHighlands.
They have a small museum set up in one of the huts with old memorabilia & photos.
