Indeed a great book of a national serviceman who spent much time in the jungle of Malaya during the early part of the emergency with KOYLI
Reviews
George Tullis rated this book as Excellent
In thirty seven momentous months between 1948 and 1951.the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry fought the Communist Forces in North Malaya.The C.T.s gave no quarter:the land itself was similary alien and neutral-but indeed this was a great Battalion and Regiment. John Scurr has gattered togther 96 stories of incidents and emotions and summing up the fellings of many who served at that time including my own:was that we were mighty glad to have survived and return home from this unforgetable
conflict and not forgetting the many that did not return The Tales are from real soldiers(Regular & National Servicemen)and all who served at that time will have experienced similar incidents both in and out of the jungle
