Who knows when you will get this, I am still wandering in the jungle with some brave fellows I met up with.We are heading towards where we think our lines must be. After our retreat from the beach landing site wherever we turn we seem to run across the Japs, so far our luck is in and they have been spotted by us before they spot our small but plucky group. We ran into another group of tommies the other day, they were heading south whereas we have decided to strike north and west. They had 'heard' that the Japs had cut right across Malaya and were moving down on both sides of the peninsula - and that wherever they meet our troops we fell back in disarray. I had no time for these miseries and defeatists. They aim to get to Singapore where they feel they will be safe under the fortress guns and the protection of our great battleships. We, on the other hand head north, looking to cause maximum damage to the little yellow men.
Who knows when, or if I will be able to ever post this to you.... it may be you get it because I have fallen and some kind soul takes it with them back to civilisation.
In a brief rest period I sketched this picture of the others in my huge force. They seem to know how to handle themselves, but of course are very grateful for the advice and tactical skills I bring as an officer to them.
Till we meet again....
Sebastian
