Why did the peripheral hill tribes of Burma reject Japan's propaganda of 'Asia for the Asiatics'? In our latest episode, we explore how the Karens, Kachins, Chins, Nagas & more took up arms against invaders, defying expectations. Discover their stories now. #WWII #BurmaCampaign #History

Happiness is being given, by his daughter, the papers of the late Lt Col Freddy Good RTR, who commanded the tanks at Kohima.

How good is that?

@KohimaMuseum you’ll get this is due course 🙂

The fighting at Donbaik bore a haunting resemblance to the horrors of 1917. Battalions were trapped in lines of trenches and dry riverbeds, facing an immovable enemy across a paddy field no man’s land. Why did the campaign revert to such static warfare? #MilitaryHistory #WW2 #Burma

It was a real privilege to be in Dorchester today for the launch of Christopher Jary’s 12th book, on the subject of fabulous 2nd Dorsets at Kohima. It’s a cracking read, with some wonderful new material. Please do buy this book: the courage and fighting stamina of the besieged garrison and the relieving 2nd Division (of which 2nd Dorsets were a part) is worthy of remembrance. Christopher has told their story with aplomb.
