About this product
Product Information
Nearly a million strong by 1944, the British 14th Army fought and ultimately conquered the Japanese forces that invaded Burma and strove to break through into India. But the victory was hard won, with great suffering along the way. With priority given to defeating Germany, these troops were last in line for additional men and equipment, and they joked about being The Forgotten Army." Here is the story of these remarkable soldiers, whose monument at Kohima reads: When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today."

Reviews
I warmly applaud any attempt to bring the Forgotten Army in Burma and India during the Second World War to the attention of the modern reading public.... Fowler places effective focus on the stories and experiences of individual soldiers in an attempt to give life to the story... If you are entirely new to the Burma Campaign, this book wil help you understand its long miseries., fascinating, a fitting tribute to the men who fought and died in this most unforgiving of theatres. If at the time they were considered the 'Forgotten Army' it is books like We Gave Our Today that ensure they will always be remembered., 'an excellent job of describing the background, tactics and operations of jungle warfare... An interesting, well-researched read for those who have little or no knowledge of his hard-fought campaign.', carefully researched... what happened in Burma - and other theatres of conflict - should wake those dormant consciences., 'fascinating... a fitting tribute to the men who fought and died in this most unforgiving of theatres. If at the tiem they were considered the 'Forgotten Army' it is books like We Gave Our Today that ensure they will always be remembered.', 'concise, readable blend of expert historical overview and riveting eyewitness testimony... What a tale!', 'An admirably clear account interwoven throughout with vivid eyewitness testimonies. There are few more shapely campaigns than Burma which saw a British Indian Army transformed from exhausted, beaten refugees into a war-winning machine by one of the most attractive generals in British history.'
