First visit to Singas was in 72 as a sapper with the RNZA/RNZE/SAS contingent that came up for Ex Jalan Ulu 1. Got arrested in Aussie on the way over. First night in Singas broke out of open arrest then got locked up. Had the six man cell in Dieppe to myself. Got release from the cells on payment of 2 x $30 (NZ) fines and 14 days CB. Went straight up to the Ulu attached to Aplha Coy as Cbt Engr (Rex Harris CSM) and spent my CB up there. Returned to Dieppe and proceeded to get into more kaka between the Bn and the Bde ex. Got back to NZ after the trip to find out the owners of Eastern Car Rentals were still chasing my to pay for the damage to one of their Ford Escorts that I happend to bend a bit on a night out. Didn't think I'd get back to Singas as I was told I was an unfit ambassador for the country. What a shock when in 81 I was told I was posted up to NZ Wksp as CClk, that |

Since Ive been here Ive had the likes of Dick Taopua (great to see Dick after 26 years), Steve Tesar & Charlie Bryers stay over and its always a pleasure to see the guys and catch up. To me mate Stromper; I can confirm that Steve Daisley is alive and well (private joke Steve) and that he was definitely Bravo Coy and not Charlie. Dais; hows life in Oz treating you mate? Havent heard from you in a while. Well thats it for now from over here but do drop me a line if you want to catch up and especially so if youre heading this way and need a place to hoochee up.

| Comments: | B Coy, 1 RNZIR 1974-76. Hey what a great site Chris & Mac and what a nice surprise to see so many familiar names after all these years. Well for me its a case of literally being back in the lions den as Ive been living and working in Singapore these past 3 years. For those of you who havent managed to find your way back for even a brief visit then I can tell you that the place is almost unrecognisable from those heady anchor (or tiger depending on your era) drenched days when we were terrorising the city as young turks (Tosh said jerks). Nevertheless its still a great place to hang out, very safe and clean and the makan is still the best. It seems appropriate that I'm writing this note on ANZAC morning 2003 although for the first time since Ive been here I couldnt make it to the dawn service at Kranji. Right now weve got this little bug problem called SARS and I'm currently laid low with the flu (not SARS thank goodness). However its unwise to go out anywhere if youre coughing or splut |

| Comments: | Kia Ora koutou nga toa ma o tumatauenga o 1RNZIR-2/1 RNZIR. The Year 2003 and the links between each other still remain strong. Having perused the site, I, like many others has been consumed by memories filled with laughter and tears. Singapore certainly binded the "boys" together in ways that are only identified by our experiences that we shared. For those that remember my father, Sam "THE WARLORD", he sadly and before his time passed away as a result to being given the wrong medication. Needless to say, dad fought his hospitilisation with veracity and aggression. He also organised the nurses by keeping them on their toes with the persuasion that he was reknown for.

Gidday Mac! Yours and Noras sites are great, i hope
i`ve been here before the old man!, he reakons he was in S.E.A when they
were feeding magazines, not reading them! anyway all stories aside
Singa`s was choice and serving with the Battalion was an honour, i was
one of the last to leave in 89 and it was certainly the end of a great
era for everyone that served there, and also the Singaporians that that
supported us for so long! Cheers Mac!!!! |
