Summary Part of Jungles Week on WW2TV Today we look at the defence of Malaya in 1942. We have three outstanding guests today. Quite literally the best team it would be possible to put together to explain the battle for Malaya. Professor Brian Farrell is the Professor of History at the National University of Singapore. Brian has written numerous books and articles on the Malayan Campaign including the modern textbook on the topic: 'The Defence and Fall of Singapore' and co-authored the Australian Army Campaign Series Book: 'Malaya'. Warrant Officer Class 2 Paul Knapp is a former regular infantryman, now reservist, residing in Penang, Malaysia. He has operated within and directed training in jungle warfare throughout his career and, particularly for the continuous Rifle Company Butterworth rotations. Paul regularly runs tours for these serving Australian soldiers to the historic battlefields of Malaysia. He comes to us today live from the battlefield of Kampar. Ross Cable is a history honours graduate of the Australian Defence Force Academy and has come to know the battlefields of Malaysia by running a number of staff rides for Army and Australian Defence Force personnel since 2018.
