Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photograph, Indonesian Confrontation (1962-1966), 1962.

On 8 December 1962, pro-Indonesian rebels, known as the North Kalimantan National Army, tried to capture the Sultan of Brunei who called on the British for help. Within hours, two companies of Gurkhas had been airlifted in from Singapore. Over the next few days, other units joined them, including the Queen's Own Highlanders and 42 Royal Marine Commando.

After rescuing a number of hostages and securing Brunei's key strategic points - such as its radio stations, government buildings and oil refineries - the rebellion was easily suppressed.

During this period the Queen's Own Highlanders were the British battalion with 99 Gurkha Brigade.

From a collection of photographs assembled for use in Col Robin McNish's 'Iron Division - The History of the 3rd Division', 1918-1977.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
