Foreword

 

This Roll of Honour is in Memory of all the Gurkha Officers and Soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice when they were on active service during the Malaya Emergency 1948 – 1960

And the Indonesian Confrontation 1962 – 1966

And other conflicts in South East Asia.

 

Many died in action and others in accidents or of tropical diseases.

 

There mission was to defeat the communist terrorist or the insurgents from Indonesia

To ensure the freedom of the people of Malaysia

 

They shall not grow old as we that are left  grow old

 

age shall not weary them

 

or the Years condemn

 

At the going down of the sun and in

 

The morning we will remember them

 Text Box: SLEEP WELL YOU BONNIE LADS BY PATRICK BALDWIN, NMBVA, RAFA Dedicated to those left behind Sleep well you Bonnie lads, wherever you may be. buried in a foreign land or in the deep blue sea. Sleep well you Bonnie Lads, you stayed forever young; You died so others lived their lives, free from bomb and gun.   You left the shores of your lands, young lads still in your teems; You hadn’t started living life; you hadn’t filled your dreams. Britons, Commonwealth, Gurkhas, Police, you all served side by side; Foreign ground marked with your blood where you fought and died.   In far off jungles green you fought for Country, King and Queen, And for a foreign people you hadn’t known or seen. We ask now was it worth it?  Of course it was you see, You helped to right a wrong and set a people free.   So in this Holy House of God, we Honour you with pride. “Sleep in peace; God rest your souls”, this prayer goes out world wide. And when the Day of Judgement comes, meet us with a smile. We’ll take your hands, fall in line, and go the final mile   So look up to the Plaque and hold your Standards high; They represent you and me, and those who had to die. “Sleep well you Bonnie Lads”
