Mark

I was suprised when I couldn't find him in either the SNWM or Armed Forces Memorial Roll. It makes sense now that he was a policeman.

Couldn't see him on this list of Federation of Malaya Police who died in the Malayan Emergency.

With thanks to Ian McEvoy, below is a photo Ian Campbell grave.

This is located in a place called Raub in the Central highlands of Malaysia.
