4 Fd Regt (SVN) Old Boys Newsletter - December 2020 Edition

As I think back to the end of the affair, I was surprised by the number of visitors who had suddenly appeared on the gun position. It was then simply a case of packing up and heading back to Terendak Garrison. This was not a major engagement and the Battery wen on to be deployed in Sarawak, but it was indeed the first time the Battery had fired in anger and at last it gave us some standing with the other Batteries of the Regiment.
