Mantin – Wegni Sambilan, Malaya – Dec 1941
‘The 88th Field Regiment disembarked from the Empress of Canada at Singapore on 28th November 1941. The majority of the 88th now boarded a train for Mantin camp which lay 210 miles to the north. A party of 40 men stayed behind for the longer job of unloading stores and guns; and these would rejoin the main body by road, setting out on 6th December for a two stage hop to Mantin.’
