1956 Armoured Copy Electrical Gibson Hussars Kings Malaya Photograph Squadron Troop
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, three armored cars from 2nd Troop, A Squadron, 15/19th Kings Royal Hussars, are seen parked at Tanjong Camp in Malaya during October 1956. The soldiers, dressed in their combat uniforms and helmets, are engaged in various activities around the vehicles. One soldier is checking the engine of one of the cars, while another is adjusting the antenna on the radio. A third soldier is standing guard, alert and watchful. The armored cars, with their distinctive silhouettes and military markings, are a testament to the technological advancements of the time. They were essential tools for the British military forces in Malaya during the 1950s, as they provided mobility and protection against guerrilla attacks in the dense jungles of the region. The photograph was taken by L/Cpl R N Eason-Gibson, a Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineer, during his National Service in Malaya from 1955 to 1957. The image is one of 78 photographs in a CD copy of an album, providing a unique glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during that period. The photograph captures the sense of camaraderie, discipline, and readiness that characterized the British military presence in Malaya during the 1950s. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the world was on the brink of significant change, and the British Empire was in the process of winding down its colonial presence in Southeast Asia.
