Served in Malaya as a national serviceman post ww2. 1950s? 1960s? In the tank regiment. He is from Erdington /kingstanding
He did boxing when he was in the army and there's a picture of him in the army with a trophy for boxing. Looking for anyone who may have served with him
 
Have a look through the thread below, lots of National Service stories in it and several references to Malaya. You might not find exactly what you are looking for but if you post in that thread it shows an alert for anyone who has posted in it. :)
