Fijians in New Area in Malaya

IN its first encounter, after being transferred from the Kuala Pilah district of Malaya, to the notorious area of Patu Pahat, in North Johore, the Fiji Battalion bagged three ban-

Jits. £ strong gang of terrorists am bushed a party of Fijians, but got much the worse of the ensuing fight.

No Fijians were hurt.

Since entering Malaya, the Fijians have killed over 20 bandits. The people of Kuala Pilah, where they were based for many months, loaded them with farewell presents.
