Force 136 Part 2 - The Canadians in Force 136

Since posting about Force 136, there have been great interest from around the world on this brave guerrilla unit. Looking through the internet, I stumbled on a little known band of fighters who are now known as the Canadian Force 136. There were about 150 recruited from the Chinese community in Canada. This is due to the fact they could communicate and blend in with the locals. Canadians in Force 136. I do wonder how they would manage the heat in the tropical environment. Today this brave individuals are given their recognition by the Chinese Canadian Military Museum. Another awesome revelation to the war in Malaya indeed.
