Thank you for helping us to defeat the Communist Terrorists...i was born in 1953...in Tanjung Malim 50 miles of KL....a black area then...so as a kid, i used to see British and Malayan soldiers there in ops...we salute your sacrifices... salaam and love from all of us in Malaysia
British troops were known for nonchalantly making a brew up during a firefight. This is the case even in more modern wars, alike the Falklands where a squad of British soldiers were pinned down by machine gun fire. Since they were not going anywhere, they sat and drank a cup of tea for a few minutes before soldiering on.@@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX981
The British are among the best global militaries to handle jungle warfare. I mean you look at the ghurkas and think “how did they end up in the British army?” It’s because the British conquered Nepal after fighting against the ghurkas and they thought so highly of the Nepalese fighters that they recruited them. Nepal pretty much provided the best training for jungle warfare and even now those tactics are still exceptional for modern warfare. It’s no wonder how the British handled Malaya so easily compared to America (I know there were more Vietnamese insurgents than Malaysian insurgents but tbh the US and especially the French did not treat the Vietnamese well at all).
By Borneo, the Brits and ANZAC's were pretty good at Jungle warfare. I sometimes think the yanks felt put out that the Commonwealth forces had stopped communism at Malaysia and they thought they could at Vietnam.
* A piece of cloth on their hat meant for identification with 'friends of armed'. High command issue certain password and color among their units discreetly, every day to avoid intrusion from foe.

We still use those portable/tommy cooker instead of self heating ration packs in Malaysian Army. Partly because our army are cheap but more importantly the men preferred using tommy stove as thr food cooked more thoroughly and these stoves could be used to cook so called "live" rations like fish, jungle fowl etc.
Supposedly was a very good system as well that did not jam nearly anywhere near as much as the competitors (Thompson, Sten). We should have adopted it as our main gun.
This British troops were like a fun trailing mission for them. There are not so heavily stress after the 2nd world war. Totally different from the Japanese war in 1942
By 1953 the threat was not as severe. The worst years for the emergency was the first 3 years (1948-1951). The British haven't fully planned out and executed a strategy to starve the insurgents then. Only after starving them out and having more experience in the jungle did it became easier though it is never easy being in the jungle especially an old one.
But !! My father was there and told us of finding his missing troops crucified with their private parts stuffed in their mouths !! Plus other things ! He never forgot it and he was national service 🇬🇧
Did you know about The Malayan Emergency from 1948 until early 1960s. That does not include The 2nd Insurgency after Malaya gained independence from 1960s to 1989.

The Americans didn't want to listen to the Brits but, the Brits weren't too bad at jungle warfare.

Australia & New Zealand Army
Also known as ANZACs
Why no use M1 Carbine
Because their British and want to use a decent gun.
It was used.
@@clairevero The bloke crossing the creek at 2:30 is carrying either an M1 or an M2 Carbine, the rest seem to have Aussie Owen Guns.
@@atomicmillenial97282:28
Because the British Army gave priority to marksmanship.
