78 years ago today marks the start of the Malayan Emergency. Australia supported the British and then the newly established Malaysian Government to defeat communist rebels and insurgents as part of our commitments to the FESR and 28th Commonwealth Brigade. 62 Australians made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to make a more peaceful region and we honour their service.
