Malayan Tales of the Yorkshire Light Infantry - Hardcover
In thirty seven momentous months between 1948 and 1951, the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry fought the Communist forces in Malaya. The human enemy gave no quarter: the land itself was similarly alien and vindictive - yet this was an undeniably happy Battalion. John Scurr has garnered 96 stories together, a kaleidoscope of incidents and emotions, eloquently summed up in the feelings of Arthur Greenacre: "I was glad when the three years were over - but I would not have missed it for the world". The book is so much more than a catalogue of patrols and ambushes, battles and casualties. It is suffused with the everyday occurrences of Malayan. Real people with real memories greet us from the pages - earthy and humorous, brutal and sad, these 96 unique viewpoints of an unforgettable conflict make compelling and thought-provoking reading.
