We thought we'd lighten things up for a moment with a very, very serious Competition Page to test just how much readers (and ourselves! - but we can't enter the Competition) know about the fight for the right to wear the PJM.

Join in and win a very special prize!

It’s all multiple guess stuff (hint: every answer is on the PJM web site). All you have to do is click on the answer you think is correct.

Each month we’ll select a winner from all the right answers. If that winner has at least one answer right, he or she will receive one of our prestigious PJM Lapel Pins. Get all the answers right, and in addition we’ll send a PJM Miniature Medal.

Taking a page out of HMG's and the HD Committee's book, our “long-established” rules (we’re making them up as we go along) prohibit double-entendres and anything more than five yawns long (let’s keep it lively!).

Also, unlike certain peerages (allegedly), there are no "prizes for cash" alternatives either – our prizes are priceless. They cannot be exchanged for cash (and, please, no double-meddling ... only one entry person!).

Go on ... Have-a-go!

So have-a-go! Click on the Competition menu option at the top of this page.

Our first competition was a roaring success. More entries than on an MoD PJM Medal Roll!

55 entries with at least one correct answer.

Our Chairman, Jock Fenton has made the draw from Canada and the winner is (obligatory 5 minute silence to generate tension and anticipation and we try and remember our presenter's lines while shuffling our scripts somewhat self-consciously) ...

Da Da DaDa! Da Da DaDa! Congratulations to:

Semengo13!

And he got all three answers right and so wins a Lapel Badge and a Miniature PJM and, if Semengo13 already has either, he can choose a copy of a very special book.

Go to http://www.fight4thepjm.org/competition1.php to read all about it. And while you're there, why not have a go at our two current comps?

Good Luck!

My heartiest congratulations to 'Semengo13' on becoming the first recorded winner of a Fight4thePJM competition.

Let me assure all and sundry that the draw to select the ultimate winner from so many excellent submissions was not a task which, as your Chairman, I undertook lightly!

.....all of the traditional 'distanced' selection methods were employed....first among them being my geographic distance from HQ (~3648 Miles or ~5711 Km).

...thereafter I employed the 'names in the hat' technique and further reinforced this methodology, by not only selecting while blindfolded, I also took the additional stringent precaution of performing the final 'pick', while heavily under the influence of 'The Macallan' single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky.

...this final safeguard I undertook voluntarily and at my own expense I might add!

Once again my congratulations to our winner!...more fun contests coming up...

Have a go!

OK ... that does it. We'll just have to get a spellchecker. 'MOD' ... 'sobs' ?!? Who doesn't know his ADC then?

I am delighted to announce that Roy Follows has kindly agreed to sign his book "The Jungle Beat" - the one we present to our Competition winners! This will make this prize even more of a pleasure to receive.

Roy's book really is a stunning and evocative, and very true, account of those days in Malaya.

So our thanks to Roy.

But you can only win it by taking part in one of our competitions at http://www.fight4thepjm.org/competitions.htm.

Good luck!

Received my prize The Jungle Beat on sat am and have read it over the weekend. I must thank the committee for picking my name out of the hat or however it is done. I think Roys book is fascinating, it took some guts to spend all that time on patrols in the jungle. I will treasure the signed copy many thanks to Roy.

....We are thoroughly delighted to hear that you are enjoying your prize Bill...Congrats!


....as for how the winner is selected I can only say that it is a dark secret known only to a select few....and it involves a totally random, and double blind, selection process....rest assured Bill you won it fair and square!.....Enjoy it...
