Jungle Conflict: The Durham Light Infantry In Borneo 1965 66

4.5/5 ( ratings)

The British government, at the request of the Federation of Malaysia, agreed to provide a military presence in Sabah and Sarawak, areas which were experiencing incursions from adjoining Indonesian Kalimantan. These border violations, part of a policy of destabilization and undeclared war, became known as the 'confrontation'. On arrival, the DLI was immediately launched into an intense programme of training at 'paradise camp' in the north of Borneo before moving to their operational area in the southwest near Kuching. At Kuching, companies were dispersed into forward jungle bases and by aggressive patrolling were able to drive the Indonesians completely out of Sarawak and so eliminate the threat to the integrity of Malaysia. The battalion, superbly led by lieutenant colonel Gil Maughan, successfully countered the Indonesian aggression.
