Willy Bach (1946-2017)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We have just received news from his partner, Rowan Eisner, that Willy Bach, a recent MPhil student in History in HPI, has passed away in the UK after a long illness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Willy was well-known and much-liked around the School during his candidature here. He had just passed his examination for his MPhil thesis and was awarded his degree late last year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The story of Willy’s MPhil actually began in Southeast Asia half a century ago. In 1966 Willy served in the British army as a sapper and was posted to northeast Thailand where he worked on the construction of an airfield. At the time he was told that it was to help in the development of the northeast, the poorest part of the country. Only later did he find out that the real purpose of the airfield was to assist in the secret bombing of Laos, an operation coordinated by the CIA. Between 1964 and 1973 US forces dropped over 2 million tons of bombs on Laos, making it the most heavily-bombed country in history per capita. An estimated 80 million (sic) unexploded bombs remained in Laos at the end of the war, which even today continue to kill and maim people, many of them children.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Using declassified archival documents Willy’s MPhil thesis investigated the collaboration of British, Australian, and New Zealand forces in the CIA’s secret war in Laos.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Willy hoped that in some way his thesis could help compensate for his involvement in this complicated and devastating war. Parts of the thesis have recently been published on the Australian history website, Honest History <<a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" data-lynx-mode="async" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhonesthistory.net.au%2Fwp%2Fbritain-australia-new-zealand-seato-the-secret-war-in-laos-and-counter-insurgency-expert-colonel-ted-serong%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR070kfQMKcAO4Sq1IOTOfB9DcpkajZQyvstHR0C_AtupfAPD6CZ_jFCWrU&h=AT12_cpUMcVFf2Em6_W8XMZ2W3Z3H3NdWmp_Ww8m9J0a3p2BOT9DI02gwr2VKqbZzeGkVO0WN7jb_xT_b26uG2-7Ue8Zn4jdMtMaomeEaJFJv7asPLmc-DrEieje4Uy9dx1j1JNU1cabq2Zy7j6AnHbz6iPukRc2ezO6DWI8AM5Ul8POn4wAlKe3vVfsoch9KsDCfrjbjw78BJebiTHqkd-BCpB8l8bkGxGNtDLgxgApKU_R1-X-mb7VntSaATn_Ul30oSE9IKN09FOI1fHnEcoyJ1C_ehvLAniBbF1W8zXlEBTjWhgmSAXowuF31Kb8TmYAXR0Wqi-J-6cbSrkBWkhb5y1jQs0XbPPcYUiEQaUXSKYSAFXQhKWGbL9Knwgwldg3eXuQjD4dtShVJFAjeSS2IBNji5zsVIczHc-dusOGCzQ7zfOOdZiI8MkhZCffvBKrKFY4IdNQ7fzSNKKNnePqBpokCaBtB6vISV0R5768_lxjYugvvQNeDdZYDq6hf9fM0YEP30Aq0rHd7DxMe82tSliv1fMm3AgHafxcyIYJ7i-tGtSW5iOxDMrb0P2WBMcHg12GZx29osDPb-HlmZWBiKJ_vKSr0rpXcBxFnwJ8pFVtazb5TNf_UNh1vPrV6CfJ_rXDKDbWu8fDBJNECw" href="http://honesthistory.net.au/wp/britain-australia-new-zealand-seato-the-secret-war-in-laos-and-counter-insurgency-expert-colonel-ted-serong/?fbclid=IwAR070kfQMKcAO4Sq1IOTOfB9DcpkajZQyvstHR0C_AtupfAPD6CZ_jFCWrU" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">http://honesthistory.net.au/…/britain-australia-new-zealan…/</a>> and Willy was preparing to publish the thesis as a book when he passed away.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Willy was a larger-than-life person. He was warm, friendly, courteous, funny, sensitive, and generous. He was a keen cyclist, and would often cycle in from West End to UQ for meetings about his thesis. He had a healthy cynicism about politics and politicians, particularly when it came to waging war. He had a long history of supporting human rights causes and had worked in this field in Africa and Central America. He was a member of numerous anti-war organizations including Veterans for Peace, the Campaign Against Arms Trade, and the Campaign for an Iraq War Inquiry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Willy was also an accomplished and widely-published poet. His poetry gave him the opportunity to express the passion and emotion that is necessarily muted in academic writing. His themes tended to be on war, conflict, and human rights issues in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. A number of poems written about the time he worked on the airfield in northeast Thailand were featured on ABC Radio National’s Poetica programme in 2002 <a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" data-lynx-mode="async" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.net.au%2Fradionational%2Fprograms%2Fpoetica%2Fleong-nok-tha%2F3495148%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2itX-sYBFJKK4TySrVp_LHlyEUtDp7QmTcOAWyIyryurzOgjLjucCWvio&h=AT3GdpAysyXZhmR3Ha_F4krXt7jtUo3seLRZU4M_GlzEc2gbggddji1qqtRdB5Vh2ftMe4oSr5XayIp03rTMIQfJ8Lqu743mOt7SKTd4uVXsNwrbqzli9gf8Z-OwR663CfNxoR6yxzQivxzLH-uSMBsEHyi8eL39uPBi8Go8J-g7A2jPPwf0lJ-tbhG5kJS6mppSYPmrPraBK06palJUjS7cBKncMwIU6-tYNUVeNRpCmVobr6P9GUrAAFLyOK5zoRNTwMQGO2Uk2Z_gBBTErrI63lw81B4Mrq9Ib1HVEowmTWb7CJ57eyOYokDpxqirIoQ_uskoiF3Dn0r8Xrs_91A2flOGx5wL9B3WX_W7tuworbDZp0jq1otpscb02h_cUzZ68jLN7mZkGeN_Yut0b5LNMEXTG8oVxorIbM9S3K0ftJw39ebJhQDABlUjxfKNlDVmLYuipuBgTisV3sWUDOigBqDNKv53sKRfc6jFjUpEyH7e8vaGU8-WlJStdo6VmvT3EnViss78bXBBA0bgpFYyckLMOZYFsbc9XJzzidDRD6bIxKNHuxwHkjdhlC-XgU8Fm4ctZMnNytqM4_lbihClGgHwWIUcV6Nse7j9uIEDvt4MjLzFTsG1FEKpsOBf05bAmPr_DXoztRZkG_5YqA" href="http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/poetica/leong-nok-tha/3495148?fbclid=IwAR2itX-sYBFJKK4TySrVp_LHlyEUtDp7QmTcOAWyIyryurzOgjLjucCWvio" rel="noopener nofollow" style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">http://www.abc.net.au/…/progr…/poetica/leong-nok-tha/3495148</a> .

<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">CRE Terendak 1960-63<br />I can't ever remember us meeting, but I was in the Royal Engineers, Warrant Officer - Superintendant Clerk of CRE Malacca from Dec 1960 to Nov 63. Our office was up on the embankment just above the sentry box where you entered Terendak Camp.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My wife and I had a most unusual experience seeing a Chinese dragon and I have been requested to record details by an author who is fascinated by the story. Though we had immediate verbal confirmation of our sighting, I have no written notes or written confirmation from others. I am prompted to find out, because today my son out on business came across the son of another Warrant Officer who lived in Terendak at the same time as us, and who mentioned the Dragon sightings.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was wondering if you or any of your comrades have any memories - even if only rumours of this event. If I remember correctly your Unit bulldozed a Chinese Temple in Terendak at the time of this event. Do you remember this bulldozing? If so do you have any records of the date it took place? Thanks</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi came a cross your website through search engine. My father,Alan Daymond, served with the RE in the 1960's based in Malacca and also Hameln, before leaving in 1970. My father sadly passed away last week after a short illness and I am looking for memories of his service days, to share with other people and to give to my mum. He did mention of operating transport ferries so he must have been in one of the amphibious units. Don't know whether you could help but thanks anyway. Tim Daymond</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Hank</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was in Butterworth 59-61 I knew an RE by name of Bill Lee and when I was posted to Malacca in 65, Bill was there, but return to England for D mob not long after, about the same time you left. He was married and he and his family lived at Eden Park, Malacca.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After his D mob I heard that he enlisted in the RAE and was posted to Townsville but I have not been able to find him. Do you think any of the members that were in Butterworth and Malacca remember him and maybe know where he is now.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />

<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">It is
with much regret I write to inform you of the death of your squadron mate
Bernard Waslin, recently as a result of a suspected heart attack. He will be
buried tomorrow near Yarrawonga on the Victoria/ NSW border. Unfortunately,
Tungamah , being a very small town, will not see a significant number of people
there to celebrate his life. The fact that nothing was published will further
reduce the likelihood of a state funeral capacity filled church. But should
anybody feel inclined to write a letter of condolence to his wife Janet, contact
Hank for the address.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Yes, I'm still in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. I have a Thai partner and we both do some teaching here. We've just just had our 5th (I think) rememberance service at the main city park. It started with just a few expats in a corner of the park where there is a small monument for POWs that were kept here by the Japs and died. An ex sapper, (lifer) Bob Longridge, used to organise it but, now, it's been taken over by the Thais and turned into a major local event, but slightly diminishing its original purpose. Every year, the expats present a bouquet to the surviving descendants of a Thai woman who secretly handed food to POWs. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">There are quite a few ex 'Op Crown' guys who travel here for the occasion and also visit the the airfield they built (at Kok Te Lat, where I also served). They do a little ceremony at the field for the sappers who died there in the 60s.</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">_____________________</span>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: black;">I recently placed a page with reference to a Lapel Badge available for purchase and found that maybe 2 or 3 responded, from the website. From that response I was ready to forget the idea. A couple of days ago Richard Clarke decided to send out emails to many of you about the badge, well this has stirred many of you into action and I have had over 20 emails requesting a badge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

It also happens with reunion information on the site and later when someone hears that they have missed an item I get the response (we didn’t know) no one told me about it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I work at a Salvation Army hostel in Plymouth. I was chatting to one of the residents about his S.A.S tatoos and turns out he was in the Engineers and we found your website.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Tony told me he was in the 11th in Malaya 66 - 68 and in the Military between 62 - 78 in total during which time he served with the Engineers, the Paras and the Sas.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">It would be great to maybe get some old photos of tony. He is now 69 and has no photos of his Military days, just fond memories.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">I wonder if you could help us?</span><br />

I was very friendly with an Aussie who was on 11 Sqn. <br />
his name was Billy Coolbugh (I think that's how you spell his name). <br />
He was an Aborigine...<br />
was Australian heavy wt. boxer & he used to have a fish tail <span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;">VELOCETTE</span> motor bike. <br />
<strong>Any help much appreciated</strong><br />

I spent the final few months of my Far East tour at Sungei Besi circa Sept 1955 to Feb 1956. I think that I was in 1 Troop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, Peter Field, who was I believe in HQ Troop, overlapping me at the same period and who I met through the local REA in the 1980's, died around 10 to 12 years ago.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri";">Load the dozer onto a low loader and head for a Guthrie's Plantation near </span><span style="color: black;">Kuala Lumpur to recovery 3 Saladin from the 17/21 Lancers who could not read a map!!!! they ran out of a track down a steep valley and could not get out.(still waiting for a case of beer from them)</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri";"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">It was a noisy journey, if I remember in the Leyland Recovery veh. The recovery mechs where worried we might have problems with the prop shaft bearing but we arrived with no problems. Due to wt. problems in having to cross a bridge in the plantation; we had to wait for the plantation manager & engineer + plenty of phone calls, eventually we where allowed to cross the bridge and get to the mini tanks. To cut a long story short we managed to get them out of there predicament but in doing so damaged a few rubber trees in the process + 1 winch rope on dozer...I would not like to guess how much compensation it must of cost MOD.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri";"></span></span></div>
