Fifty years ago I left several feet of small intestines in a bucket in BMH (British Military Hospital to the uninitiated) at Kluang and I thought I'd point out to my grandson where, on the map of Malaya, Kluang was. Your site came up on a search for 'Malaya Map' but the scale of your map does not show it.
