@sgkoyan I'm afraid that it is too late for your kind offer for a meal. But I'm 82 years old now and do not travel anymore. Incidentally, do you recognize any of the villagers in this film?

My dad was here with the West Kents. Seconded from the North Surreys, he was involved in the chase to get the bastards who murdered the Governor. He lost a lot of schoolfrinds there and never spoke much about it. He was leader of a bren gun team. God rest him, he died four years ago.

@Kronixzz "together with Malaysian Army to fight all ..."??? Ow c'mon, you know that the war was fought by Brit,Aussy and Gurkhas only. :D

@myhasdzry Well my old man was out there back in 52, and he had these rifles. They were American carbines with flash deflectors, short and practical for the jungle. He told me that he only put five rounds in the magazine so as to avoid jams. He was a signaller just like the dude at 3:10. He was attached to the Suffolk regiment.

@myhasdzry that rifle is carbine and Mk III from the second world war.
