The Australians are patrolling through the Kampong 'Landak' also known as 'The Village of the Porcupine', and they always give gifts of tobacco, to the 'Penghulu' when they visit. The 'Penghulu' then impartially distributes this highly valued commodity amongst his villagers. Pte Horne is serving overseas for the first time and he is presently engaged in a food denial operation with C Coy at Jalan Tinggi in the state of Perak. Pte Horne has an Owen gun which is slung over his shoulder.
