Description

During World War II, while British forces in North Africa and Western Europe were garnering publicity for their victories against the Germans, there was a longer, tougher, and even more arduous campaign taking place in Burma and India. There, the British Fourteenth Army, under the charismatic General William Slim, fought the Japanese to a standstill and eventually recaptured the area. Without publicity, without fanfare, the Fourteenth carried out their three-year campaign; they were Great Britain's "Forgotten Army."
