Bill Sunley Roy, can you please contact me, my number is on the front of the open door Regards Bill Sunley Gavin Grossmith Happy memories of old times Roy. I still have a photo of you, George Burr and myself on Xmas day, 1957, sitting on my bed with bottles of Tiger/Anchor, wearing just towels and flipflops - the standard off-duty uniform. A few of us meet up each April/May time including Ray Travis and Laggie Moore, survivors of the aircrash of which you speak and Colonel Thacker our OC who is now 90 years old. Would be good to meet up with you again. Gavin Described as a guerilla war, the Malayan Emergency was a conflict fought between the UK, Commonwealth and other security forces against Communist insurgents in Malaysia. It lasted from 1948 to 1960 and began after a period of sustained civil unrest in the region. The Malayan economy was left in turmoil following the withdrawal of Japan at the end of the Second World War. Attempts were made by the British administration to repair the country's economy, as revenue from Malaya's tin and rubber industries were important to Britain's own post-war recovery. However, food was scarce and expensive, wages were low and unemployment was high. Significant labour unrest resulted in a large number of strikes between 1946 and 1948. Protestors were dealt with harshly during the strikes, with many being arrested and deported. This resulted in protesters becoming more and more militant. The Malayan Emergency was sparked on June 16, 1948, by the first overt act of war; three European plantation managers were killed at Sungai Siput, Perak, and retaliation against Communist insurgents was swift.
