Summary

Description
English: This Horror Must End was a news article published by the Daily Worker (later renamed Morning Star) exposing never before published photographs of British forces and their Iban headhunter allies engaging in atrocities during the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960). The collection of scalps and severed heads was a common practice performed by British troops and their allies during the war.

These photographs were published by British communist activists in the hopes that they would turn public opinion against the British occupation of Malaya.

This article is the third article published by the Daily Worker in 1952 which contained never before published images of headhunting by British forces in Malaya.
