MALAYA: A MEMOIRE OF THE EMERGENCY by Craig and Doug Newnes

What happens when an embattled father and son experience physical disaster? In 2003, Craig Newnes had a catastrophic road accident leaving him barely alive. A few years later, his dad, Doug Newnes, developed cancer. By then, the two of them had been working on Doug’s memoire of his time with the Scots Guards during the Malaysian Emergency.

What happened? Two men had sat down to make peace with the past and each other.
