During the Malaysia diplomatic crisis, 10,000 members of the Indonesian Central Youth Front marched on the Malayan and British Embassies in Jakarta. The Malayan Embassy's First Secretary succeeded in calming the demonstrators by agreeing to transmit their demands to Kuala Lumpur. The Central Youth Front demonstrators then headed to the British Embassy where they demanded to see Sir Andrew Gilchrist. During the demonstration, the British Embassy, which was a brand new extensively glazed building, had all 938 windows smashed by rocks hurled by the demonstrators. Instead of seeking to calm the demonstrators, the assistant British Military Attache, Major Rory Walker, paraded outside the Embassy compound while playing the bagpipes. This only succeeded in enraging and aggravating the Indonesian demonstrators. Tensions further escalated when an argument broke out between the leaders of the Central Youth Front and the British Military Attache, Lt Colonel Bill Becke, over the number of delegates that would be admitted to the Embassy to present their protests to Gilchrist.
