KUCHING: Snake-infested jungles, leeches and scorpions are some of the things Australian veteran Don Cameron remembers from his time serving in Sarawak during the Indonesian Confrontation with Malaysia.

Cameron went on counter-insurgency patrols from a base at Kampung Gumbang in Bau near the border during a five-month tour in 1965.
