“Once we heard about the passing of the late Awang Raweng on Sunday, it became of absolute priority for me to depart from Peninsula Malaysia and come over to Sarawak to pay my respect and condolences,” said Hindmarsh to the press after paying his last respects to Awang Raweng at the wake in Kuching Civic Centre here today.

“On behalf of the British government as well, I would like to convey our condolences and respect to this tremendously courageous soldier who did so much in 1951, which led to him being awarded with George Cross gallantry medal,” he said, stressing the award of the George Cross medal signified incredible courage shown by an individual.

Easter Field Command commander Lieutenant General Datuk Mohd Zakaria Yadi said the event today was full of army’s traditions that are usually accorded only to the heroes of the country.
