History of the Malay Regiment, 1933-1942

Dol Ramli
"The Royal Malay Regiment, the most senior regiment in the Malaysian Army, can claim a heritage that dates back 45 years ago when the first 25 men [sic] squad of the 'Experimental Company of the Malay Regiment' was formed. Since that day, the Royal Malay Regiment has never looked back. It has distinguished itself both at home and overseas-- fighting the Japanese invaders in Malaya, crushing the Communist Terrorists during the First Emergency, serving the cause of peace under the United Nations in the, then, Republic of Congo, defending the country against Soekarno's confrontation forces and now, conducting security operations against the Communist Terrorists. This book, compiled by Encik Dol Ramli in 1955 as an academic exercise whilst he was in the University of Malaya, Singapore, deals specifically with the years 1933-1942 and serves as a most useful record of the Regiment's trials and tribulations during a vital part of the nation's history"--Page 1
