Rest In Peace ‘Snowy’ Service and the various dedications attended, which we report on elsewhere, we had the pleasure of travelling throughout the island enjoying the sights of such a beautiful place. It is almost inconceivable that such horror occurred in such a lovely country. The countryside around Ranau and Kundersang near the foothills of Mount Kinabalu is so spectacular and so peaceful. Meeting also the descendants of some of the local people who helped our POW soldiers made us realize the extent of the effort made by these locals. This effort was despite the dangers to both themselves and to their families. Many were to receive the full wrath of the Japanese Army when those Members of the Borneo POW Relatives Group and Royal Australian acts of kindness were Engineers Association of Western Australia with Colonel Geoff Simpson discovered.

We extend our sympathies and our thoughts for their families to three of our members, Kerry Laidley, Pat Rosser and Caroline Hague on the loss of their father. On Monday 14th April we had a fair representation at Fremantle Cemetery for Snowy's funeral with the families including us in the service, myself reading out Snowy's military history as provided by Allan Cresswell, and a wreath on behalf of the Group. Snowy would have been rapt with the military presence of Colonel Geoff Simpson with the AIF Engineers' flag, his grandson Derek Laidley of 5/7 RAR Unit from Darwin with the Australian national flag, and a serving sapper, Frank Sanders of our 13th Field Squadron with the Engineers' flag. President Mike Ryan of the Engineers' Association recited the Ode, and an ex-Navy bugler played The Last Post. A lovely touch was provided by a lady playing a beautiful rendition of 'We Are Australian' on guitar in the Chapel, and her version of 'Waltzing Matilda' at the graveside rounded off a touching ceremony. Sleep well oldtimer. ANZAC Day Six families from our Group were onsite in Borneo at Sandakan at the same time as our Services started here. The Purple Circle Memorial Precinct at Irwin Barracks was again the venue for a professionally run and sensitive Dawn Service in a beautiful tranquil setting. The Honour Guard and Catafalque Party were our uniformed hosts of the 13th Field Squadron. The veterans of the Engineers' Association and a few other Service Units helped make up the large crowd attending. Our Anzac Diggers would love the peculiarly Australian touches, such as the soft lights shining up the gum trees, and the sounds of kookaburras, magpies and yes, even the crows in the quiet after the stilled bugle. Wreaths were laid by myself for the Group, and Steffoni and Kerry for their fathers. After the Service we assembled next to the wall plaques and replaced the Flanders poppies by each nameplate, with their stems shortened so they would not be dislodged by passers-by. Later, in the city our Group had the privilege of joining in the Anzac Day March with serving personnel and veterans behind our Banner for the first time. As you are aware we had hoped to have Snowy leading the Group in his wheelchair, and just about the whole Jensen clan came to march in his memory. Kerry, Pat and Caroline declined the lead, so we compromised by having them march in front of the banner borne by their husbands - ably assisted by two lovely young ladies, Jennai and Shanniah, the great-granddaughters of Jenny La Rose. In all I think we had about sixteen marchers in the Group, and the thousands of onlookers lining the streets were no less enthusiastic in their cheering of our tiny group. I am sure that Snowy was not the only father or grandfather looking down and pleased at the recognition they were at long last receiving via their proud relatives. I know from the comments afterwards that I had a lot of 10ft high people marching behind me. As Steffoni was unable to march she videotaped the procession for the benefit of our overseas travellers. Our Group got an excellent wrap from the ABCs commentator. If anyone missed out on seeing or hearing the March please contact me after I get the tape back from Bill Young in Sydney. Bill Young is a survivor of Sandakan and Outram Road. His wonderful drawings, his enthusiasm to perpetuate the story of Sandakan, the excellent books written by him and his poignant poems are testimony to the character of the man. Bill has been invited as a special guest at our Sandakan Day in August and it is hopeful that he can attend.

  • On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum M. W. F. TWEEDIE
    Reprint from Bulletin of the Raffles Museum, Singapore, Straits Settlements, No. IS, August 1937 On the Crabs of the family Ocypodidae in the collection of the Raffles Museum hy M. W. F. TWEEDIE M. W. F. TWEEDIE On the Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae in the Collection of the Raffles Museum By M. W. F. TwEEDiE, M.A. The material described in this paper has been collected for the most part during the last four years, mainly in mangrove swamps around Singapore Island and at a few localities on the east and west coasts of the Malay Peninsula. The greater part of the paper and most of the figures were prepared at the British Museum (Natural History) during August and September, 1936, and my grateful acknowledgments are due to the Director for permission to work there and for facilities provided, and particularly to Dr. Isabella Gordon for her unfailing help and encouragement. I wish also to express my thanks to the Directorates of the Zoological Museums at Leiden and Amsterdam for permission to examine types, and for the helpfulness and courtesy with which I was received by the members of the staffs of these museums. Finally acknowledgments are due to Prof. Dr. H. Balss, Dr. B. N. Chopra and Dr. C. J. Shen for their kindness in comparing specimens with types and authentic specimens in their respective institutions. The mode adopted for collecting the material may be of interest to collectors of Crustacea, and possibly other invertebrate groups, in the tropics. It was found that if crabs, especially Grapsidse and Ocypodidse, are put straight into alcohol, they tend to die slowly and in their struggles to shed their limbs and damage each other, so that often less than 10% of the collection survive as perfect specimens.

  • The Practice of the Peraktown Pindh in Community Identity Formation and Belonging in a Malaysian Sikh Diaspora
    Page 1 of 297 THE PRACTICE OF THE PERAKTOWN PINDH IN COMMUNITY IDENTITY FORMATION AND BELONGING IN A MALAYSIAN SIKH DIASPORA Narveen Kaur BA (Hons) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy FEBRUARY 2015 Page 2 of 297 Abstract This research discusses the post-migration lived experience of the Peraktown Sikhs, a diaspora community of visible difference in the specific context of Malaysia. Using a qualitative case study methodology, I juxtaposed oral life history narratives and extensive interviews, memoirs and photographs, to study eighteen members of a total thirty-five Sikh families who lived in the multi-ethnic township I renamed Peraktown. Their narratives offer a loose historical chronology from the early 20th century to the 1970s of a diasporic group seeking to find home and a place to belong. Using a postcolonial lens, the research demonstrates the complex negotiation between inherited cultural traditions and the appropriation of colonial knowledge. It explores engagement and interaction with broader societal structures and dominant habitus within the rubric of identity construction, hybridity and the idea of home. My focus is the liminal generation, born prior to Indian and Malaysian independence, between 1915 and 1947. Framed in both the concept of diaspora as bounded space and the diaspora as a societal process, I co-opted a concept native to Sikhs, the Pindh, to understand and interrogate their unique understanding of identity, belonging and home. The Pindh or village incorporates relationships with the landscape and social structure in the construction of Sikh/Punjabi identification. In contrast to studies on Sikhs elsewhere, in Peraktown, the nostalgic attachment and identification with the physical spaces of their ancestral homeland and the meaning it imbued is accompanied by the appropriation of concepts and practices that sustain the idea of community belonging, bridging the divide of being at home both ‘here’ and ‘there’.
