2: The Twilight of the Tuans
'It was a halcyon period, I'm afraid, idyllic, when I look back at it ... There were notices of exhortation from the c-in-c saying the defences of Malaya cannot be invaded ... We didn't believe that the Japs could come in through the back door in gym shoes through the jungle and knock the place sideways.'
