Summary:Malaya, September 21 1950, one of the first patrols of Malayan Scouts in action. These specially-trained volunteers were at the heart of the two-year struggle against communist bandits who threatened to over-run the country. Yet by the end of 1951 the British administration of Malaya had won a brilliant counter-insurgency campaign and totally repulsed the communist threat in the Malayan peninsula.
