A property of the Sultan of Johore [RG-36] 

The personnel of 35 O.F.P. were Billeted here for several weeks until quarters were available in the nearby garrison at Muar. The interior of this building was mainly of Marbel, the ultimate in luxury although we did have Army issue beds etc. and were confined to a part of the ground floor.

The UNION JACK CLUB- Singapore [RG-78] 

Union Jack club in Singapore 1954. Many a service man has spent time here on "Leave". A wellcome break after spending time in the "ULU" (Jungle). To have a hot bath of all things was a something of luxury instead of the usual shower in a makeshift tin shed with limited hot water.
