My father was a captain in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (R.E.M.E.) and was sent to Malaya with his young family as part of the British government's response to the armed revolt of the Malayan Communist party. An emergency was declared which lasted from 1952 until 1960. The British encouraged Merdeka (Independence) through political means whilst instigating military counter-insurgency measures against the MCP. This remains the only successful jungle campaign against Communism ever to be fought by a Western power.

From 1955 to 1959 brothers John and Tony Quinn and their sister Mary Uhlmann wrote a series of letters to their Mother Lillian. Both men were soldiers and Mary was married to a soldier. Lillian kept their letters in a blue box bound by ribbons. Eventually she passed the letters on to Mary who gave them to her eldest son. It was only years after Mary's death that he finally read them. The letters are reproduced in this book. They offer a fascinating insight into a world that has passed, in particular life as a soldier and a soldier's wife during the Malayan Emergency.
