    Hey Charley Fortnum ,

    My book has finally been published.

    It's been over a year since I've visited these forum but my book on head hunting during the Malayan Emergency is now on sale with Pen & Sword books: Head Hunters in the Malayan Emergency


    My book is the first ever attempt by any researcher to fully investigate the practice of Iban head hunting during the Malayan Emergency, as well as the public display of corpses by Commonwealth forces. Interestingly I actually found out something interesting about your original post. The declassified document you shared discussing a head hunting photo actually describes a completely different head hunting photograph also published by the Daily Worker. The man with two heads image was published on the 10 May 1952, I have attached the original article.
