  • Australians Into Battle : the Ambush at Gema S
    CHAPTER 1 1 AUSTRALIANS INTO BATTLE : THE AMBUSH AT GEMA S ENERAL Percival had decided before the debacle at Slim River G that the most he could hope to do pending the arrival of further reinforcements at Singapore was to hold Johore. This would involve giving up three rich and well-developed areas—the State of Selangor (includin g Kuala Lumpur, capital of the Federated Malay States), the State of Negr i Sembilan, and the colony of Malacca—but he thought that Kuala Lumpu r could be held until at least the middle of January . He intended that the III Indian Corps should withdraw slowly to a line in Johore stretching from Batu Anam, north-west of Segamat, on the trunk road and railway , to Muar on the west coast, south of Malacca . It should then be respon- sible for the defence of western Johore, leaving the Australians in thei r role as defenders of eastern Johore. General Bennett, however, believing that he might soon be called upo n for assistance on the western front, had instituted on 19th December a series of reconnaissances along the line from Gemas to Muar . By 1st January a plan had formed in his mind to obtain the release of his 22nd Brigade from the Mersing-Jemaluang area and to use it to hold the enem y near Gemas while counter-attacks were made by his 27th Brigade on the Japanese flank and rear in the vicinity of Tampin, on the main road near the border of Malacca and Negri Sembilan . Although he realised tha t further coastal landings were possible, he thought of these in terms of small parties, and considered that the enemy would prefer to press forwar d as he was doing by the trunk road rather than attempt a major movement by coastal roads, despite the fact that the coastal route Malacca-Muar- Batu Pahat offered a short cut to Ayer Hitam, far to his rear .

    FREE A HISTORY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR PDF B. H. Liddell-Hart | 608 pages | 17 Jul 2014 | Pan MacMillan | 9780330511704 | English | London, United Kingdom The Top 5 Causes of World War I Though outnumbered by the British defenders, the Japanese concentrated their forces and utilized combined arms skills learned in earlier campaigns to repeatedly flank and drive back the enemy. Utilizing light tanks and bicycles, the Japanese swiftly moved through the peninsula's jungles. Though reinforced, Lieutenant General Arthur Percival's command was unable to halt the Japanese and on January 31 withdrew from the peninsula to the island of Singapore. Destroying the causeway between the island and Johore, he prepared to repel the anticipated Japanese landings. Considered a bastion of British strength in the Far Eastit was anticipated that Singapore could hold or at least offer protracted resistance to A History of the First World War Japanese. To defend Singapore, Percival deployed three brigades of Major General Gordon Bennett's 8th Australian division to hold the western part of the island. Advancing to Johore, Yamashita established his headquarters at the Sultan of Johore's palace. Though a prominent target, he correctly anticipated that the British would not attack it for fear of angering the sultan. Utilizing aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathered from agents that infiltrated the island, he began to form a clear picture of Percival's defensive positions. On February 3, Japanese artillery began hammering targets on Singapore and air attacks against the garrison intensified. British guns, including the city's heavy coastal guns, responded but in the latter case, their armor-piercing rounds proved largely ineffective.

    Australians at War Film Archive Alan Loxton - Transcript of interview Date of interview: 1st December 2003 http://australiansatwarfilmarchive.unsw.edu.au/archive/700 Tape 1 00:46 Thanks very much for taking part. Well I think it’s important. Yeah I’m glad you do. You’re somebody we very much want to talk to and we’re glad you made the time for us. To begin with, as I said, 01:00 we just want to get a point by point summary of your life and service career. So maybe you could tell us in no real detail, but tell us about where you grew up in your family. Yes. Well my father served in the First World War as a doctor. He came home in - towards the end of 1918. Mother was ill - he got compassionate leave to come home. And then he bought a practice, a medical practice run down in Enmore. 01:30 Edgeworth Road, Enmore which is near Newtown of course. I was born in 1920. And so, after a while I went to a little pre-school I suppose you’d call it these days, run by Kathleen Thomson. She was very good and I was very lucky. But eventually I found my way to Newington Prep School. 02:00 Newington College. And I spent oh, a good seven years there, which was useful, very useful. I was very young for that period. Too young really. And eventually found my way into the main prep school where I did reasonably well academically. 02:30 Father become dissatisfied with what was happening.

  • 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.

  • 1 4 NAKED ISLAN D HE Situation Facing General Wavell, As He Saw It
    CHAPTER 1 4 NAKED ISLAN D HE situation facing General Wavell, as he saw it at the beginning o f T February, was that Ambon Island had fallen to the enemy on 31st January; there was still a convoy at Balikpapan which might at any time move south on Macassar or Bandjermasin ; and a third force, reported to be in the South China Sea, might be heading for Singapore or Sumatra. Rangoon was endangered by the enemy advance in Burma, and the Britis h forces had been driven from the mainland of Malaya. In Wavell's view much depended on the ability of the forces on Singapore Island to make a prolonged resistance . He considered that an active defence should enable the island to be held for some time—perhaps for some months—while th e forces at his command were being strengthened. Mr Churchill's thoughts had turned, while he was concluding his talks in Washington, to the possibility of a withdrawal to Singapore Island such as had now occurred. "How many troops would be needed to defend this area?" he had asked in a message to General Wavell on 15th January. "What means are there of stopping landings [such] as were made in Hong Kong? What are defences and obstructions on landward side? Are yo u sure you can dominate with fortress cannon any attempt to plant sieg e batteries? Is everything being prepared, and what has been done about the useless mouths? "1 These questions, which but for his preoccupation with more immediat e issues he might well have asked much earlier, brought a disconcertin g reply.

  • Chapter One- Introduction
    Chapter One­ Introduction The story of the 2118th Battalion AIF begins in Sydney when it was formed as one of the three battalions of the 22nd Brigade, the first brigade of the 8th Division AIF. This thesis traces the battalion's development from its formation in Sydney in 1940 and training in Australia, through its posting to peaceful Malaya as support for the British garrison, the Japanese invasion and, eventually, to the battalion's withdrawal, along with all other Allied troops, to Singapore. The general withdrawal from Malaya signified Japan's victory in the Malayan Campaign. Hindsight clearly reveals that, from a military perspective, the 2118th Battalion's peace time and battle experiences in Malaya were irrelevant to the result of the campaign as well as to subsequent events; consequently, military histories often omit reference to either. From a different standpoint, however, both the social and military experiences of the 2/18th Battalion in Malaya during 1941 and early 1942 do have historical significance. The 22nd Brigade was the first large Australian contingent to go to an Asian country-the soldiers' adaptation to the different conditions and people they encountered is part of Australia's wartime experience. This thesis uses the approach of microhistory to show how the men and officers of the 2118th Battalion interacted in their everyday life, with each other and with the immediate world beyond. It contends that the men of the 2/18th Battalion had their own codes of behaviour and their own agenda according to which they initiated, co-operated or resisted. With discipline and training any military unit will function and in the 2/18th Battalion the discipline never eased.

  • Malaya Would Require at The
    Chapter Four­ Preparing for War The Australian army had plenty of experience in transforming recruits into soldiers at home. It had experienced training and fighting both in the Middle East and Western Europe. However, it had no experience at all of what in 1940 was known as the Far East. In Australia, the training of the three battalions of the 22nd Brigade had been along what were then conventional lines, suited to the wide spaces of the desert or the fields of Western Europe. It had been anticipated that the posting to Malaya would require at the very least some alteration to the training regime. With time, it in fact precipitated a raft of changes in many facets of army life. In Malaya the AIF faced two challenges from the outset. The soldiers needed to acclimatise to the different conditions that pertained in a new and unfamiliar environment-the climate, the terrain, the local foodstuffs and even their drinking water which had always to be boiled. They also had to deal with what were often inappropriate, inadequate or insufficient clothing, equipment, weapons and ammunition. The soldiers of the 211 8th Battalion had no more say in the suitability or quality of their equipment than they had had in the location of their posting. While they could expect to be paid, fed, clothed, equipped, trained and eventually taken to the war, they were justified in concluding that "the AIF in Malaya was ... low on the priority list as far as food, clothes and equipment was concerned.") They had no option but to put up with the chronic shortages that affected the various aspects of their daily life and work.

  • On Saturday, 6Th March 2021, the Society Held Its 33Rd Annual General Meeting, Mark- Ing Yet Another Successful Year of Operation
    Official Newsletter of the Royal Australian Artillery Association of WA (Inc), RAA Historical Society of WA (Inc) ISSN 2652-001x Web Site: http://www.artillerywa.org.au Email: [email protected] Edition 1/21 Date 31 March 2021 THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN ARTILLERY HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA (inc) On Saturday, 6th March 2021, the Society held its 33rd Annual General Meeting, mark- ing yet another successful year of operation. Readers may be interested in the genesis of the Society in 1988 and the following sum- mary may explain how fortunate we are that it is still a most credible organization. Formed from an amalgam of World War 2 Artillery Associations based in Perth, togeth- er with Serving and Past Members of 7 Field Battery RAA Army Reserve, the Society boasted 57 Members in its first year of existence. The inaugural President was the In- cumbent Colonel Commandant RAA Western Region, assisted by the Regular Army Training Officer 7 Field Battery – together they formulated a draft constitution, “coerced” sufficient enthusiastic members to form a committee and planned! Through the generosity of 7 Field Battery RAA, the Society’s band of regularly attending weekly volunteers was accommodated within Hobbs Artillery Park. Early in 1989 the Society was approached by the Developer of the Buckland Hill Resi- dential Estate to comment on the significance of a WW2 Coastal Defence Emplacement that lay within the Public Open Space of the Development. Based on our recommendation, the Developer retained 90% of the facility, extensively restored the underground Tunnel Complex and proposed to the State Government that the Society be granted “Permissive Occupancy” to further develop the site as a Militaria Museum.
