Burma: Forgotten Allies

1 x 46 HD
Broadcaster:  H2

In the darkest hours of WW2, thousands of young men from Burma volunteered to fight for the Allies. A handful of these men are still alive, but have been long forgotten by Britain.

 

Discover the WW2 veterans living in appalling poverty, in a country still being torn apart by war. Sally McLean and her team retrace their ancestor’s wartime footsteps to find these men and tell their heroic stories for the first time on camera.

 

Follow the relentless efforts of a few Brits to right a historic wrong, and to give these men the recognition they deserve.
