The SAS in Borneo: Video - 2SAS Borneo patrol

2SAS Borneo patrol

This piece of film shows members of an SAS patrol making their way through jungle and across streams – the soldiers look wary and are clearly concentrating on their surroundings. The presence of a camera, however, suggests that this was not a patrol in which the troops were in great danger. Among the most interesting scenes are those in which the troops meet local villagers with whom they share food and cigarettes. (2:09 min - BW - Silent) [AWM F03767]
