During that time, it was noted for its air force surveillance centre which protected the area from Port Swettenham or previously known as Port Klang to Port Dickson. It also acted as a military logistics that planned and carried out the movement, supply, and maintenance of military forces to sustenance Morib area. Currently, this historical structure and its remains have no longer exist. The area has now been transformed to a palm oil plantation. As time goes by, this airfield has been forgotten and invisible to our young generation. In addition to that, there are lack of literature and studies about the history and its roles during and after World War II. -
Japanese Conquest of Malaya & Singapore, 1941-42
Japanese Conquest of Malaya & Singapore, 1941-42 - By Gerald F Pillay1 Introduction Those with an historical or military bent will find this document a comprehensive reprise of the subject, perhaps even overladen with detail. Its value is that the information is not elsewhere found in one place. For the adept I have left in fascinating detail about the re-occupation of Malaya and Singapore, ie Operation Zipper and Operation Tideface, etc. The casual reader may skip much of the document, and only go by the headings. The brave will find that the following annexes provide much for additional digestion: Annex A Air Defence Deployment - 8 Dec 41 Annex B Battle Order - 8 Dec 41 Annex C Map of Japanese Invasion of Malaya 1941-42 Annex D Map of Battle of Singapore, 1942. “Malaya Command” was the term used to describe the defence sector of Malaya and Singapore under a single Commanding Officer. I keep to it for convenience. I have retained the original names of peoples, places and events for historical authenticity. This document is put together from information on the Internet. All sources are given, and are hereby acknowledged. Imperial Defence Strategy2 In the 1920s, the British Imperial geopolitical thinking evolved along the following lines. The most probable enemy in the East was Japan. The main targets to be defended were Australia, New Zealand and British Malaya. Of the last, Singapore would be the prize target. The launch base would be Japan. An air offensive was out of reach. The threat was essentially naval. And finally, distance provided insulation of about 180 days to the actual arrival of any invasion forces. -

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BURMA CAMPAIGN Strategical considerations Burma forms a barrier of rivers, hills and malarial jungle between India and southern China, Thailand, and Malaya. To supply China with essential war requirements the Burma Road had been constructed from Rangoon through Mandalay and Lashio to Chungking. There was also an air-supply route from Calcutta to Chungking via Myitkyina. When the Japanese swept westwards early in 1942 they naturally included Burma as one of their principal objectives, not only to protect their gains in the Pacific and Malaya but to cut off China from her supply sources in the west, and to act as a springboard for an invasion of India. The Burma campaign defeated these plans, and China was never completely isolated. In face of stupendous difficulties a new road was constructed by American engineers through north-eastern Burma to join up with the original Burma Road, and a new air-supply line was opened up across the now famous "Hump" to Chungking. Allied forces, after the initial retirement from Burma, fought back from India, and transformed the attempted invasion by the Japanese into a chaotic and costly retreat ending with the enemy surrender in August, 1945, and the reoccupation of Singapore. -

Bringing Them All Back Home: Prisoner of War Contact, Recovery and Reception Units, 1944–45
Bringing them all back home: Prisoner of war contact, recovery and reception units, 1944–45. Bryce Abraham Abstract During the Second World War more than 30,000 Australian soldiers, sailors, airmen, and nurses endured captivity as prisoners of war. When the conflict came to an end in Europe in May 1945, and in Asia the following August, specially organised units were tasked with the recovery and repatriation of the surviving prisoners. However, while strong historical scholarship has emerged on the Australian experience of captivity and postwar readjustment, the work of these units has yet to receive critical attention to bridge this historiographical gap. Contact, recovery, and reception units played an integral role in recovering personnel, investigating war crimes, and discovering the fate of the many missing personnel in Asia. This paper examines the organisation and operation of these units and the political issues inherent in their task, and ponders their success in light of the ex- prisoners’ responses to the recovery process. Introduction In May 1945, Gunner Lawrence Eager, formerly of the 2/3rd Australian Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, was liberated after four years as a prisoner of war of the Germans. Captured on Crete in 1941, Eager had taken part in a forced march across eastern Germany before he was recovered by a unit of the United States Army, having spent his last two years of captivity at Stalag 334 (formerly known as Stalag VIII-B) in Silesia.1 Writing of his experience later in life, he noted the lack of 1 Lawrence Eager, unpublished memoirs, AWM, PR84/106, pp.
