Retracing the track of Saidor Campaign

This tour was taken under the request of David Anderson and his son Dave, who wanted to visit some of the areas around Saidor in the Rai Coast area where David's father (also named David Anderson) who once took part in a military campaign during the World War 2. David's main intention was to understand better the terrain where his father once fought and campaigned against the Japanese invasion. His father was in the US 128th infantry and was engaged in January and February 1944.

Below are some of the photo highlights:
