	Battle of Malaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Malaya was a conflict between a Commonwealth army, comprised of British, Indian, Australian and Malays from the Federated Malay States forces, and the Japanese Imperial Army from December 8, 1941 until January 31, 1942 during the Second World War.
		The battle, centred around the Gemensah Bridge, proved costly for the Japanese, who suffered up to 600 casualties but the bridge itself, which had been demolished during the fighting, was repaired within six hours.
		As the Japanese attempted to outflank the Australians to the west of Gemas, one of the bloodiest battles of the campaign began on January 15 on the peninsula's the West coast near the Muar River.

	The Battle of the Skagerrak (Jutland)
		In the later phases of the battle we were, as a rule, no longer able to tell to which enemy ship we were opposed, and I cannot therefore say with any certainty when we engaged Beatty's four battle-cruisers again, or if we ever did so.
		THE previous phases of the battle had been a glorious progress from one triumph to another.
		Commander Scheibe, in his description of the battle, describes this attack as follows: " The battle-cruisers, temporarily under the command of the Captain of the Derfflinger, while Admiral Hipper was changing ship, now hurled themselves recklessly against the enemy line, followed by the destroyers.

	Jack Gower, HMS Malaya and the Battle of Jutland, 1916
		The Fifth Battle Squadron consisted of the mighty Barham, Valiant, Warspite and Malaya.
		Malaya was at first very lucky and although shells were falling all round and the ship deluged in spray, she wasn't hit much.
		Despite all the alarums and hits, the second distinct phase of the battle of Jutland, subsequently known as the Run to the North, was characterized by the almost miraculous survival of the Fifth Battle Squadron.

	Ralph's Story - World War 2 - Royal Navy Prince of Wales and Repulse
		As northern and central Malaya were over-run the Japanese air force increased its bombing and the effect could clearly be seen in the barracks.
		Malaya was a country of two road systems, one in the west where the roads were fairly well metalled and could take heavy traffic, and the other in the east was nothing more than a series of jungle tracks unsuitable for mechanised vehicles.
		Bicycles were very popular in Malaya and when the Japanese began to advance down the peninsula they soon realised how easy it was to confiscate them.

		The Japanese forces were superior in close air support, armour, co-ordination, tactics and experience as the Japanese units had fought in China, unlike the British forces that consisted of mostly young men who were conscripted and did not receive much training.
		In less than two months, the Battle for Malaya had ended in defeat for the British and resulted in their retreat from the Malaya Peninsular.
		The retreat from the Malaya Peninsular marked the end of the Battle of Malaya and the beginning of the Battle of Singapore as the Japanese now focused their attention onto the fortress island.
