"This website came to fruition in an attempt to tell the true story the 2/26th Infantry Battalion, (the only Infantry Battalion raised in Queensland; part of the 27th Brigade, 8th Division) played during the Malay Campaign of World War II.... "The 8th Division constituted 14% of the British force but it took 73% of the battle deaths."

Edward (Ted) Patrick Rafter is the front left and Thomas Frances Rafter is the back row right side. Unfortunately I do not know who the other people are, but they must be 2/26 for the two brothers to be together.

A photo of 20 men with Thomas Rafter at 2nd row 6th from the left and Ted Rafter in the 2nd row on the right hand position. To my eye, there is at least another man common to both this photo and the one above, in the photo above as a full corporal and in this one he is a lance corporal. Therefore, this photo was taken before the one above.
