I owe my life to him."[5][6] It was on behalf of the four RAF tracker dogs posted to the Malaysian campaign between 1949 and 1952.[7]{{efn-ua|The commendation notes in part: "an exceptional team, capable of tracking and locating the enemy by scent despite unrelenting heat and an almost impregnable jungle."[1] The four dogs were principal participants in capturing "hundreds of communist terrorists including, in February 1951, the notorious gang leader Lan-Jang-San", who had caused deaths of many local persons.[5]}} See also
