4: Two Men in the Jungle After Singapore fell,
Richard Broome was asked to stay and organise British agents underground. Asking how many there were, he got the disconcerting answer, 'we've only got one at the moment'. From this unpromising start he and his colleague John Davis went on to play an important part in the secret jungle operations of Force 136.
