 Remembrance - legacylad
My late uncle served with the Royal Engineers in Burma. He hated all Japanese and everything Japanese until the day he died. Would never have a Japanese car, and his music stereo and TV were Scandinavian....I so hope his B & O didn’t have Japanese components.

He and his late wife had no children, I was their eldest nephew so very close, and although he never told me personal stories of his time in that theatre of war, he had an amazing respect for the West Indians who served alongside him ( and were equally ruthless) and of course the Gurkhas...much of his estate was left to the Burma Star Association.

Jeez I feel so fortunate I didn’t have to live, or die, through that.
