Roy Follows joined the Malay Police Force in May 1952, at the height of the "emergency" - the ten year campaign against terrorists of the Malayan Communist Party. He was 22 years old with no experience whatsoever of warfare or the jungle. Undeterred by his lack of preparation and keen for adventure, he undertook a first posting to the heart of the Malaysian jungle in search of terrorists. This description of his experiences testifies not only to Roy Follows' understated courage in the face of danger, but also to his awareness that this was nearly Britain's Vietnam.
