13th November, 2011: Today is Remembrance Sunday in the UK, a day in which we honour the country's war dead. On this day, the Sejarah Melayu website would like to pay tribute to the nearly 100 Malay seamen of the Royal Navy and Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve who were killed in February 1942 in their efforts to slow down the Japanese advance into Malaya and evacuate British troops and civilians to safety.
