"This website came to fruition in an attempt to tell the true story the 2/26th Infantry Battalion, (the only Infantry Battalion raised in Queensland; part of the 27th Brigade, 8th Division) played during the Malay Campaign of World War II."

 

The 8th Division constituted 14% of the British force

but it took 73% of the battle deaths.

 

This site owes its birth to three dedicated people:

Muriel Butler - Research

Daryl Henbery -WebMaster

Ron Raaen - Former Battalion member and sponsor.
