At Manchester June 2007
Following is a collection of photograph's taken at Manchester in June 2007 at the presentation of the Pingat Jasa Medal (PJM) which is being awarded to all servicemen and woman who served in Malaya/Malaysia & Borneo between 31st Aaugust 1957 and 31st December 1966 and Singapore up until their independence. We all had a good time, a few bevies after the event, a quick freshen-up and we all converged on "Curry Mile" Manchester to finish off the day. It was really good to catch up with some of the lads again. It was also really nice to meet up with Sheila Roebuck who attended the presentation to collect Harry's Medal posthumously. The event was organised by The National Malay Borneo Veterans association.
