55th ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF PLAMAN MAPU
I launched this in 2015 but today is a special day for the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment of which I was a member. Two of our Battalion died on this day in 1965 and are always remembered albeit they are buried in a graveyard "Forever England" Kranji Military Cemetery, Singapore.
It iwas a special day, so much so that Field Marshall Lord Carver said at the time "This battle is on par with the battle of Rourkes Drift in the Zulu War of 1879"
