Certainly! Here is a short military history for the unit "C Battery, 52nd Party, 6th Malaya Battery": C Battery, 52nd Party, 6th Malaya Battery was a sub-unit of the British Royal Artillery, formed during World War II to bolster the defenses of British Malaya and Singapore. Drawn from experienced gunners and local recruits, the battery was tasked with coastal defense and anti-aircraft operations amidst the rising threat of Japanese invasion. The unit saw action during the Malayan Campaign of 1941-1942, valiantly resisting advancing enemy forces despite shortages of supplies and overwhelming odds. Following the fall of Singapore in February 1942, many members of the battery were taken as prisoners of war, enduring harsh conditions for the remainder of the conflict.
