It's unfortunate that the MRNVR (Singapore Division) was not remembered. In 1941, 3 HDMLs commanded by MRNVR Officers & manned by Ratings made attacks at Japanese troops crossing in boats the Johor Straits into Singapore Island. Also, during the evacuation of Singapore, 120 Malay Ratings of MRNVR (Malayan RN Volunteer Reserve - Singapore Division) died as their vessels were sunk by Japanese Cruisers off Bangka Straits (Riau Archipelago). These episodes were included in the book I edited "Naval Reservists in Action: WW II (Far East) & Confrontation (1963-1966)" launched last year, and distributed in Kuala Lumpur & Singapore. Royalties from book sales donated to Naval Charities in UK and Malaysia. We shall remember them: our MRNVR (Singapore Division) & its successor the RMNVR, of which I am proud to be a Confrontation Veteran defending Malaysia including Singapore, with the British with Aussies & Kiwis playing major defence roles.
