He gave me the documents (attached); la bataille de Srè Chés et Srè Pork entre le 16 Juillet 1954 et 22 Juillet 1954 à Srè Chés sous le commandement de Col. Sau Kam Khoy de l'Armée Royale Khmère which he commended le Bataillon de Parachutis, le 6ème B.C.C et Bataillon de Kg. Thom. Col. Sau Kam Koy defeated de l'NVA and Viet Minh à Srè Chés le 16 Juillet 1954, 5 days before la Conférence de Genève le 22 Juillet 1954. I believe the attached document could well be construed as a valuable historical document during the period when Cambodia was struggling to be independent from France. Lok Om Khoy had passed away a few years ago.

It is an important document of great historical value for Cambodia. Many historians and journalists in the West are either not aware of (or intentionally choose to ignore) the many developments and intentions of our neighbour to the east on Cambodia. If I remember correctly, there was a FARK commemorative medal awarded to the Khmer combatants of Srè Chés. That time our FARK was on par with the V.M.

One of my brother in law, at that time lieutenant parachutist Keo Sangwath was with Colonel Sokham Khoy. Later on, in 1962, Commandant Sangwath was killed in Odor Mean Chey; his Jeep ran over a Khmer Serey ‘s mine. If my recollection is still good, the Geneva Conference granted Independence to Cambodia in November 1953.
