After returning to the UK I subsequently saw two TV programs about the expedition and read all three books on the subject. Having been in the British Forces, RAF not army, I was intrigued by the dilema faced by the NCO's of obeying the officer's orders or following thier own analysis of the situation & acting accordingly. I also met Robert New (who descended the gully with Steve Pinfield) at the KYC once, briefly, but was not aware of his venture &he did not mention it. As you were in the medical profession i was wondering if you know Dr. Madeleine Piper? I met her when I helped with a WWF marine survey project in 1981 on the islands off of Sempona. At that time she was an anthropoligist & not a doctor. Like your blog & to quote Gen. McArthur, "I shall return". Best wishes, Mike PS: I learn't to love Sabah while I was there & I learn' t to sing "Proton Saga Kalabu" in Kadazan/Dusun. Hello Drizad,

Maybe they have it there. Or, if you want to buy online, try Barnes & Noble. The last time I checked, they've got it, but not all. I will try to find out from Borneo Books at Wisma Merdeka.
