WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK

As such, we are trying to get in touch with plantation workers and soldiers who were based in Malaya during that time, 1948-1960. We are hoping to locate people who are still alive who can share their personal stories of what happened and what it was like fighting/working/living during that era.

Warning we have received advice on the cleaning of
medals from the manufacturer who recommend that Brasso and other abrasive
substances should not be used to clean medals the PJM in particular. A
special cloth like Goddard's silver cloth or similar should be used. If it
does become necessary a cleaner such as silver wadding carefully
administered should only be used.
