  • Phot Son of Bario.Cdr
    A Japanese Naval officer who subsequently ‘died of wounds’ at Long Berang. The photo also includes the District Officer who helped Warrant Officer Cusack and Corporal Hardy. 50 Prahus entering the narrow rapids section on the Baram River. Parts of Sipitang remain unchanged since 1945. 51 Son of Bario 9 Sampson Bala-Palaba153 Being the son of a post-war Kelabit soldier, it was particularly hard distinguishing stories from my father's experience as a 11 year old cook for the late Tuan Mayur (Harrisson) and tales from his involvement during the Confrontation and Brunei Rebellion, let alone remembering what was considered folklore from the 1940s. Unlike the much-acclaimed British SAS, to this day, Z Special Force remains a mystery to most people. Being a wild man of the Borneo kind, who in my younger days dreamt of being a counter-revolutionary hero, I am fortunate to have laid my hands on some books and articles on Z Force which I enjoyed reading tremendously. My story is based upon facts heard and passed from generation to generation. Included too, are my personal views and reflection, which should not be generalised otherwise. In mid 1996, I had a letter from an anonymous Australian, stating his intention to retrace the Semut operations undertaken by Z Special Force during WWII (the Japanese War, as commonly referred to by locals). How he got my name and address, remains a mystery and until then, my only living memory of Z Special Force was the Maori Hakka. We were told that the dance was introduced by members of the 'Tentera Payung from Australia.' (tentera - army; payung - parachute).
