Chin Peng arranged for the three men to meet on Christmas Day 1943.

At a conference with the AJUF and MCP leadership on December 31, Davis signed an agreement on behalf of the Allied C-in-C South  East Asia, Admiral Lord Louis Mounbatten, to provide arms, supplies and money in return for the guerrillas stirring up labour disputes and sabotaging Japanese shipping.

With radio contact with Ceylon broken for a long period, because of the loss of their sets, Davis and his party lived with the guerrillas in deep jungle.

When contact with Colombo was restored in February 1945, he was appointed head of the Force 136 groups of agents in Malaya and promoted to colonel.

A plan to co-ordinate operations against the Japanese in anticipation of Operation Zipper, the Allied landings in Malaya, was overtaken by the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 and the Japanese surrender.

Davis was awarded the DSO for his leadership in Malaya in 1942-44 and appointed CBE for his liaison work with the resistance from February 1945.
