Summary

Description
English: A photograph of British allied headhunters in a Royal Marine base posing with the severed head of a suspected pro-independence guerrilla, likely belonging to the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA). This image was first published on 30 April 1952 by the Daily Worker, a British communist newspaper which was later renamed the Morning Star. This image was published in response to British government and military claims that a previous decapitation photograph published by the Daily Worker on the 28 April 1952 was fake.
