[QUOTE="Kromaglathon, post: 43155, member: 4009"] Hi Joe/Doug Yours are very timely posts. My father served in malaya in 22 sas and passed away recently, His name was derek mc farland. I have come into possesion of numerous black and white photographs of him, his squad and the local trackers they employed whilst on operations. Some are obviously quite rare, small photos showing the men on patrol, in the sgts mess and there are a few of the 'scouts' whom he always spoke very highly of. He told me a few tales about some of his operations, for example he was the only serviceman who canopy jumped with a dog attached to his harness, he said he would rather have his dog and a tracker than a whole regiment with him!!! I have only just joined this site and have yet to scan the pictures, but once i have heard back from john i'm sure i will be able to post some up for you and other interested parties. Regards D mc Farland (jnr!) [/QUOTE]
