The site is brilliant. Couple of things:

1. The picture of Remembrance Service, where was that taken?

2. My Mum and Dad were living in Nee Soon, close to the Transit camp, when the Bn arrived in Singarpore in 54, and we all visited Port Dickson when on leave coming from Cameron Highlands.

Hello 401,
On June 11th 1957, a drumhead service with the Colours on parade was held at Selerang Barracks to commemorate those who had died or been killed in action in Malaya whilst serving with 2/RWF. To the best of my knowledge 11 men were killed. I reckon this is the picture you refer to in your e mail.Details from Regt records Vol 6 By Brigadier J Riley et al confirm my memory of this most solemn occasion.
