'A' Company in Malaya

‘A’ company went to Malaysia for Exercise SANJAK under the command of Major CB Lea- Cox in August 1969. This was a six week exercise during which the company was based at the Jungle Warfare school at Kota Tinggi, and trained extensively in Johore state.  The company took under command a platoon of soldiers from the Singapore Guard Regiment. The exercise provided useful training in air-portability, but also laid a firm foundation of knowledge of jungle operations on which ‘A’ Company was able to draw when its turn came to carry out the British Honduras commitment at the end of December 1969.
