Gunners all
1 Field Battery Federation Artillery
The above Gunners returned to Kajang for a nostalgic get-together on Saturday 19 September 2015. The official photograph of the pioneer Gunners of 1 Field Battery Federation Artillery raised on 15 August 1957 was epic and was proudly displayed during the High Tea event at the Oriental Crystal Hotel Kajang. I was glad that I was able to attend this auspicious occasion as I was able to meet many Gunners whom I had not seen for many years. I believe that Gunners who had unfortunately passed on would be present with us too.
Oriental Crystal Hotel was the main landmark to Kem Kajang, which was just 500 metres away. Sadly there were no more significant landmarks to identify the camp site. Kajang is now a busy major metropolitan, Kajang Satay and all.
We were delighted that 31ARTY will be relocated to Kajang in the near future, giving us a perpetual link to our historical past.
Take care all until we meet again year after year.
Once a Gunner
