In FFO, the small addition to Allied strength, plus the unwillingness of France to give Indochina over to Japanese control, has had profound effects on the campaign for Malaya and Singapore.   While the overall progress of the campaign is discussed in the canonical narrative, a series of separate reports has been produced which describe the fighting and the seige in detail.  These are thrilling in their detail, and we commend Geoff Mowbray for his research and descriptions.

10 April to 14 April 1942	Brigade diary, 15th Indian Brigade.  Details of the Brigade's restructuring and rebuilding after a period of hard combat, and then returning to face a heavy Japanese assault.
27 April to 1 May 1942	On Singapore, operation Vimy Ridge breaks the remaining Japanese positions on the Island, and forces the IJA back.  Increased security for the town of Singapore allows rear-area and civilian resources to be used more effectively.
2 May to 4 May 1942	The British sally forth from the beseiged island of Singapore. Commonwealth forces move from Singapore to Johore in a multi-pronged advance, pushing aside exhausted Japanese units.  After two days, the surprised Japanese agree to a 10-day truce.
4 May to 18 May 1942	The truce helps the British even more than it does the Japanese, but both sides are worn out. The last Japanese left Singapore Island during the truce. Both sides regroup, and combat is rejoined all along the lines in Johore on the 14th.	5 May to 30 June 1942	With the sudden surprise success of British forces in chasing the Japanese off Singapore and attacking into Malaya, the Allies are faced with a new possibility. With the Truce in Singapore and Johore, the Allies find they have many military and political reasons to prepare a relief convoy to make the desperate and dangerous run through the Malacca Strait to Singapore. All ships that make the final run to Singapore will have to be considered as lost, but the value of the operation is high.
19 May to 22 May 1942	The Empire Strikes Back as British forces launch a multi-pronged advance in Johore. The objective is to continue to punish and disorganize the Japanese, while recovering ground that can provide resources for a prolonged fight for Singapore.
23 May to 28 May 1942	The Japanese retire as British and Indian troops push through the jungle. Heavy artillery helps destroy Japanese positions and prepare the way for an amphibious move on the west coast. Intelligence reports discuss the Japanese rebuilding and their plans for Siam.
29 May to 31 May 1942	The British advance is supported by an amphibious move in light craft on the west coast, but it is too late to make a significant encirclement and merely hastens the Japanese exit. Depleted Japanese forces continue to fight tenaciously as they withdraw under relentless pressure.  Awards for valour and service are presented.
1 June to 6 June 1942	Strategic and administrative overview.  British forces continue to apply pressure on the depleted Japanese, and continue to improve the effectiveness of Singapore as a source of supply.  Johore is secured, and British forces can consolidate and recuperate. With finite supplies, British capabilities are ultimately limited by what they have and what can come through the blockade.
6 June to 30 June 1942	All quiet on the Malaya Front.  Both sides are too tired to do much more than send out patrols and lick their wounds.   ## Report to follow. ##	1 July to 8 July 1942	The relief convoy faces threats from sea and air, and responds in the finest traditions of the RN, MN and the merchant fleet. The result is at once a disaster and a triumph.
