In Memory of Operation Jaywick: A charity re-creation for the 70th Anniversary

September 1943, 14 commandos embarked on a daring attack on Japanese ships anchored in Singapore’s harbour.

Description

For the 70th anniversary of the bravery and sacrifices of Operations Jaywick and Double Tenth, a team of six middle-aged men plan to follow in Operation Jaywick’s footsteps to raise money for charity.

The six will retrace the 150km route paddled by the members of Z Special Unit, into Singapore’s harbour.  There will be a beach party on Saturday 24th August to welcome the paddlers to Singapore.  All ticket money will go to Help for Heroes and Australian Prostrate Cancer.
