By Alan Raven, John Roberts

Inbuilt resolution to jap cruiser building, town type or Southampton classification, as they have been as soon as known as, is definitely one of the most sensible identified of the British cruiser sessions to determine motion in the course of WWII, and one of many type, the Sheffield, is sort of definitely the main well-known British cruiser of all time. The cities have frequently been criticised for being too huge for an armament of twelve 6-inch weapons, and providing a tempting objective of their personal correct. The feedback has a few validity in view of the truth that they have been by no means matched opposed to their designed rivals, and in addition whilst one appears on the unqualified good fortune of the Fiji sort which gave an analogous functionality on a smaller hull, with much less displacement. notwithstanding, the category acquitted itself with contrast throughout the conflict and stood up good to enemy assaults. a few of this resistance can definitely be attributed to pre-war criteria of building, and as lively devices they often outlasted the Fiji type throughout the post¬war interval.

The Indonesian troops are going to attack within hours and he recommends immediate evacuation of the camp. That is enough messages for one day to receive. I immediately call for a meeting of the leaders who are present to decide what action should be taken. We have already had strong suspicion of the two men who said they came from Kuta Radja area to join our movement and bringing a letter of recommendation from a prominent leader in Kuta Radja area. But somehow a persistent suspicion towards them existed because of the wrong things they are saying, the way they were talking and acting.

Soon we receive reports that the enemy has issued orders that no one is allowed to go to the mountain anymore. Anyone violating the ban will be shot on the spot. An area a-bout three miles wide and 200 miles long, running from East-West direction, beginning from Bireuen in the East to Padang Tidji in the West, that is the area between the mountain ranges and the countryside is being marked out with red-and-white painted planks which suppose to delineate the area to the Indonesian air force planes for the purpose of bombing the entire length of it with napalm, to erect the wall of fire between the villages and the mountains, that is between the people and us.
