All the better therefore for Lieutenant General Sir Henry Royds Pownall, at one time commander-in-chief of the British forces in Northern Ireland.
Three batteries of the 63rd anti-tank regiment were stationed there while the fourth –250 Battery — had been moved to Portrush, a seaside resort some 60 miles away on the north coast of Ulster.
One day, General Pownall was being chauffeured through the streets of Lisburn; his car was flying the flag marking his rank.

 Seventh Rangers (Mechanized): Report on a Grimness Monday, Jan. 12, 1942
There a good man reported to his chief on one of the shortest, strangest and grimmest commands ever held by a British general.
General Pownall's first responsibility to the Supreme Command was to describe Malaya's peril, with which he had had brief but concentrated acquaintance, and to recommend steps to be taken.
The steps would have to be taken in haste, for the situation as he described it was alarming: on the west coast the Japanese were within 270 miles of Singapore, on the east coast within 175 miles.

Sir Henry Lovell Goldsworthy Gurney, 53, High Commissioner for the United Kingdom to the Federation of Malaya, was a man who seemed to be precisely what he was — a stern and incorruptible servant of Empire.
In 1946 Henry Gurney was appointed to the ticklish post of Chief Secretary to the embattled British mandatory government of Palestine.
Sir Henry replied in kind:' "We are fighting militant Communism and we intend to finish it off." With calm assurance, he urged planters and tin miners to stay at their posts.
