THE WHITE HACKLE SRI LANKA LIGHT INFANTRY MAGAZINE Colonel Of The Regiment Maj Gen RMD Rathnayake RWP RSP USP ndu psc

The WHITE HACKLE the Voice of Sri Lanka Light Infantry Regiment is now firmly established. It has reached maturity. This is the 63rd issue. This quarterly is for Members of the SLLI, their families, Ex-Servicemen of SLLI, and as a whole for the entire Army. It will be extended even to all Sri Lankans.

We should not rest on our laurels. Targets have to be set. Greater goals achieved. The success of WHITE HACKLE depends on combined efforts. Everyone has his contribution to make, and every contribution is most welcome in any language (Sinhalese, Tamil and English). What is valued is our making the attempt, and then we can surely do our bit.

Express your thoughts, ideas, opinions, and criticisms, hopes and fears though ‘THE WHITE HACKLE', the journal of the oldest and proudest Regiment of them all. If you have much to say about your Battalion's experience go ahead and write in to ‘THE WHITE HACKLE' We are willing to accept and use what if of a standard, like sketches cartoons stories and poems, whatever comes from your thoughts and your pen.

Our Motto is “ Ich Dien”, “ I Serve”. Let ‘White Hackle' be a way to serve each other, our regiment and our country with our banner flying high as it always will.

Centre Commandant Wishing you all the very best.

THE WHITE HACKLE

Veera Puran Appu

"Porang Appo", earlier Francisco Fernando (a relative of mine), stood up heroically against the injustice of British colonialism in Ceylon and has been an example for my own life. He gave leadership to a peasant population in 1848 who had lost their King and their Chiefs. He stood up in rebellion against the mighty Empire of Queen Victoria "an Empire on which the sun never set."

Writing in the Island of January 1, 2000, Dayan Jayatileke has named Porang Appo or more popularly called Puran Appu as Sri Lanka's man of the Millennium.

"The rebels of 1848 were still more heroic because they took up arms against a more entrenched colonial rule, having seen or heard of the defeat of 1818 and the scorched earth reprisals that followed. Nor were they nobles partly motivated by the loss of their class status and role; for the most part they were commoners, some belonging to so-called lower castes, many from the lowcountry where the might and main of the occupier was concentrated and most clearly visible. Puran Appu then is our real Lankan hero. Here is my Man of the Millennium, of this island".

Puran Appu wanted to make a difference and jumped in at the Deep End. He was prepared to face the Winds of Fire.

The English Press in Colombo have always thrown brickbats at me that I am "claiming" relationship to Puran.

My relationship to Puran Appu is as follows Veerahennedige Francisco Fernando of Moratuwa had three sons - Juan Fernando, Gabriel Fernando and Abraham Fernando.

Juan Fernando's great grandson was Francisco Fernando, later named Puran Appu. Abraham Fernando's great granddaughter, Joslin Senaratne was my mother's mother.

(Many generations apart!)

I am grateful to Wimalasiri Fernando and Gustavus Jayawardena of Moratuwa for kindling my interest in Puran Appu and making available to me all the material on him in their possession. I have done much research into Puran's activities and the following is based on that.

Puran's Early Life Francisco, born in 1812, attended the Wesleyan School in Moratuwa (the original building is now part of Veera Puran Appu School). He was a very mischievous boy. After a fight with the village headman, he fled from Moratuwa in 1825, at the age of thirteen. He then travelled about the country, mostly the hill country - to Ratnapura, Haldemulla, Badulla and other places and finally to Kandy.

In 1840, he stayed with his uncle, W. Marcellenus Francisco Fernando, the first Sinhala proctor who

had a flourishing practice at Ratnapura at Kahangamuwa Walawwa in Ratnapura.

Between 1842 and 1844, he became famous as a fearless person in the Uva province. He broke into the house of Magistrate Dawson of Badulla (because of some injustice), and was imprisoned and then broke prison. He cursed Major Rodgers who brought a false charge against him and Major Rodgers was struck by lightning in Nuwara Eliya.

The gazette notification by the Colonial Secretary, Sir Emmerson Tennent on January 1st 1847, offered ten pounds for his apprehension and described him as follows:

"Porang Appoo originally of Morotto, lately of Kandy, trade - unknown, caste - fisher, aged - 34 years, height - 5 ft. 7 1/2 inches, hair - long and black, eyes - light hazel. complexion - light. well looking, make - well made, stout, marks of pL11lish111Cint Oil the back and foul" vaccination marks".

James Alwis, writing in 1876 of the events of 1848 in the "Ceylon Overland Examiner" states that Puran Appu or Veerahennedige Franciscu Fernando was of the Karawa caste "in whom a bold and daring disposition was

Between 1842 and 1844, he became famous as a fearless person in the Uva province. He broke into the house of Magistrate Dawson of Badulla (because of some injustice), and was imprisoned and then broke prison. He Cursed Major Rodgers who brought a false charge against him and Major Rodgers was struck by lightning in Nuwara Eliya. combined with a strong and healthy constitution".

In early 1847 in Kandy, he met and married Bandara Menike, the daughter of Gunnepana Arachchi. They begat a daughter, Siribara Menike.

He census of 1835 (when Puran was aged 23) records the population details as follows: Whites 9,121 Free blacks 1194,482 Slaves 27,397 Aliens and resident strangers 10,825 (Nira \Wickramasinghe: Sri Lanka in the Modern Age. p.48).

The "slaves" were workers in coffee plantations brought from South India who were, according to some

(Kumari Jayawardene: Nobodies to Sombodies, p.99)

Turmoil in Kandy

By the time Puran Appu came to Kandy, the Kandyan provinces were in a state of turmoil. The Kandyan provinces had been under British rule for 32 years. The depression in the United Kingdom had severely affected the local coffee and cinnamon industry.

Planters and merchants clamoured for a reduction of export duties. Sir Emerson Tennent, the Colonial Secretary in Colombo recommended to Earl Grey, Secretary of State for Colonies in London, that taxation should be radically shifted from indirect taxation to direct taxation.

This proposal was accepted. It was decided to abolish the export duty on coffee and reduce the export duty on cinnamon leaving a deficit of 40,000 pounds, which was to be met by direct taxes on the people. A new Governor, 35-year¬old Torrington. a cousin of PM Lord Russell, was dispatched to Colombo by Queen Victoria to carry out these reforms.

On the 1st ofJuly 1848, licence fees were imposed on guns, dogs, carts and shops and labour was made compulsory on plantation roads, unless a special tax was paid. These taxes bore heavily on both the purse and the traditions of the Kandyan villager.

On the 6th ofJuly, a multitude gathered at the Kandy Kachcheri. Unarmed peasants were set upon and beaten up. On the 8th of July, Sir Emmerson Tennent, the Colonial Secretary told Headmen, "pay two and six and keep a gun or be flogged".

A mass movement against the oppressive taxes was developing. The masses were without the leadership of their native King (deposed in 1815) and their chiefs (annihilated after the 1818 rebellion). Keppetipola had been killed and Ehelepola banished (I visited this tomb in Mauritius in 2003). The leadership passed for the first time in the Kandyan provinces into the hands of ordinary people.

One of the group was Gongalagoda Banda who claimed relationship to the deposed King and was crowned in Dambulla.

The real hero and Iivewire in this group became Francisco Fernando, who, having earned a name for himself in the hill provinces as a courageous man, was now popularly known as "Porang Appo" (Puran Appu).

Professor Kingsley de Silva in his book, "Rebellion of 1848" (1965) says that, "Puran Appu was a most resourceful and courageous man who took a leading part in the events and died a courageous death" (p.22, 26).

Armed Rebellion

After three weeks of preparation, in the early hours of 28th July 1848, a crowd of eight to ten thousand men under Puran Appu's leadership armed with guns, spears and knives set off for Kandy from Dambulla.

The plan was for Puran Appu, Gongalagoda Banda 10

and Dingirala to go in three different directions then meet at Katugastota and attack Kandy on Sunday the 30th of July.

Puran Appu's army first attacked Fort MacDowell in Matale. Government buildings and property were ransacked -Kachcheries, jails, rest houses and courthouse records. The coffee stores of Lieutenant General Herbert Maddock, a key advisor to the government in Kandy was set on fire.

Meanwhile, Gongalagoda Banda was attacked

by British soldiers at Wariyapola and fled. A stone memorial "The rebels were dispersed here" stands on the Kandy Matale to this day (This was nearly destroyed by bulldozers expanding the road but was saved thanks to the timely intervention of 'the then Highways Minister, A.H. M. Fowzie). Dingirala was captured at Kurunegala and hanged.

The people then spontaneously proclaimed Puran Appu as the King. Rev. Fr. S. G. Perera in his "History of Ceylon for Schools" (1932) records, "At Matale crowds became unruly and burnt and ransacked some houses and proclaimed a low country man Puran Appu King of Kandy".

Then, on the 29th of July, Lord Torrington. the Governor proclaimed Martial Law. Indian troops were sent for. They sailed in the steamer "Lady Mary Wood" and landed at Trincomalee. Captain Albert Watson and his Javanese soldiers were let loose on a rampage of murder, arson, rape and looting.

Puran Appu's army first attacked Fort MacDowell in Matale. Government buildings and property were ransacked - Kachcheries, jails, rest houses and courthouse records. The coffee stores of Lieutenant General Herbert Maddock, a key advisor to the Government in Kandy was set on fire.

Puran Appu himself was captured on his way to Kandy on the 29th of July. A confidential letter dated 3rd August sent to the Government by a Kandyan Chief and a Proctor of the Supreme Court (probably J. A. Dunuvilla) says that Puran Appu's capture "is winning half of the battle" (Kingsley de Silva p.23).

Puran Appu was tried by a Court Martial for treason and having been found guilty was executed in Kandy on the 8th of August 1848, at the age of 35 (Coincidentally I was born in Kandy on 8th August 1941).

The Colombo "Observer" of 10th August 1848, states,"We append a Kandy letter received by yesterday's coach from which it will be seen that the notorious Puran Appu has been shot and two of his fellow rebels sentenced to transportation".

Sir Emmerson Tennent reported to Governor Torrington on 12th August 1848 that Puran Appu died "most heroically''. Governor Torrington in a letter to Earl Grey, the Colonial Secretary in London dated 9th October

THE WHITE HACKLE 1849 states, "I remind you of the last words of Puran Appu.

He held up his hand and said if there had been half a dozen such men as me to lead, there would not be a white man living in the Kandyan province. This is true. If there had been such leaders without doubt for a time we should have lost the country" (the original of this letter is still available at Durham University and a photocopy is in my possession). It can also be seen at the National Archives and at the Museum I set up in his old school at Moratuwa (much neglected now). The Puran Appu Statue which I had constructed in

1978 at the Moratuwa Municipality grounds is in good order and an annual commemoration is held here on the 8th of August with my laying a wreath. I had a stamp also issued to commemorate Puran.

Veera Puran Appu has a permanent place in our history as a real hero and Leader of the only People's Revolution in our history the one in 1848 which was indeed the `Year of Revolutions' the world over.

This is quoted from "Through Winds of Fire" the autobiography of late Mr. Tyronne Fernando.

He was a Foreign Minister and a Governor of the Northern and Eastern Provinces.

THE WHITE HACKLE

THE WORLD SNIPING RIFLES The Future

Scarcely a year goes by without some advance in firearms design being announced, or so it seems to the casual observer, In fact meny of these announcements are optimistic and vanish when more research is done; others are merely old ideas being given a new nun because some aspect of technology has made them a little more attractive than they were is the past. But in all this activity, is there anything which promises improvements for the sniper"

Here, I think, we have to make a distinction between the two branches into which sniping has divided itself, antimateriel and anti-personnel. The first thing to be realised about anti-materiel sniping is that, so far, many of its advantages are entirely theoretical, it has very little trial in actual combat conditions, and the far trials it has had have not been very significant to the overall results of the operation. So whether the scenario of the infiltration party destroying the squadron of expensive jet fighters is a valid one, we haw no way of knowing. So far as equipment goes the anti-materiel sniper is well provided whit a variety of heavy caliber weapons, as the following pages show. But there are indications that enthusiastic designers are straying into the realms of giantism, and it cannot be long before somebody starts exploring the more powerful 20mm and even larger carriages, striving for the ultimate destructive power but with very little thought of the practicalities of carrying such monsters about the countryside. (Not to mention the weight of a reasonable quantity of anmmnition.)

So far as anti-personnel sniping goes, we seem to have arrived at the same plateau of excellence that has already been reached with assault rifles; it might be possible to improve the performance, but by how much and at what sort

of cost? "The final ten percent of performance is sixty percent of the development cost" say the guided missile engineers and much the some is being said about more mundane weapons like rifles and machine guns. At the present, sniping rifles are generally so good that they are far more accurate than 99 out of 100 people call shoot them, and striving to make them any more accurate seems to be a waste of time and effort, Moreover it tends to price them out of the market; the prime example of this can be seen in the magnificent Waltherr WA 2000 rifle which appeared in the mid-1980s. It was designed around the. 300 Winchester Magnum cartridges, the barrel being, dimensioned and rifled for that alone. The barrel was fitted into a frame so that the recoil force was in a straight line to the firer's shoulder, the gum was a gas-operated semi-automatic, it had every conceivable adjustment for length, height, fit, and trigger pull. It had a muzzle brake, recoil absorbers, a bipod, hand rests, a magnificent telescope tight. And it cost something in the region of 8500. By cotrast, the current price of a top parkerhale rifle is just over sl000. As a result, Walther very wisely saw that there was no likelihood of a profit being made out of the limited number of weapons they were likely to sell avid abandoned tine WA2000 in 1988.

So I think we are likely to wait for some years before we see anytling very startling appearing in the anti-personnel sniping field. And although we shall undoubtedly see some slartling appearing in the anti-materiel sniping field. whether they will meet with military acceptance is likely to wait until some practical experience is gained as to just what tactical function they really can perform, as opposed to the lactical functions they are expected to perform. Not for the first time, the

30

development of a weapon system is going to have to wail until the military are satisfied that they can find a use for it.

Step Anti-Materiel Rifle .IVES 2000 (Austria) In the late 1980s the Steryr-Mannlicher company took a long look at tile targets which confronted the infantryman on the modern battlefield; men. helicopter, armoured personnel carriers. crew-sewed weapon vehicles of all shapes and sizes, radar and similar surveillance and observation systems- the list appeared endless, and it was obvious that the ordinary rifle and machine gun could not hope to deal with all of them. From this, and spurred no doubt by the contemporaneous rise of the 50 rifle in the USA, Sleyr set about 'project 5075' the development of a heavy-caliber infantry weapon capable of dealing with anything it met short of a main battlt tank.

Two of life prime requirements were the ability to defeat hard targets and high velocity in order to produce a flat trajectory. with a consequent reduction in range errors. This led to the adoption of fin-stabilized long rod projectile fired from a 14.5mm smooth-bore barrel at about 1400 meters per second.

This demanded a substantial caurtridge, and also a substantial weapon, and the design inlcorporaated a take-down barrel so as to make it convenient for a two-man crew to carry, and a concentric recoil buffer and high efficiency muzzle brake to Kook up a large proportion of the recoil.

Initial firings with die first design proved that the design was sound; the tungsten could defeat 40mm of armour at 1000 meters range. and the highest point of the trajectory was only 800mm above tile line of sight at the same range.

The rifle itself was a long-recoil operated semi-automatic, feeding from five shot side mounted magazine.

Experience with this prototype led to some changes, notably the caliber to I5.2mm, and the project now became the infantry Weapon Syslant 2000' Development is still being carried out, with a view to simplifying and lightening the rifle, to prpoducing a full-automatic version, so as to allow a somewhat greater diversity of ammunition to be used.

The 15.2mm cartridge used a composite metal plastic case and is loaded with a 20 gram (0.71 oz) tungsten dart. At 1000 this deal with almost any target except a heavy rank, and against lighter tragets it is effective out to 2000 meters. As might be expected, the standard sighting system for the rifle is a 10x telescop.
