We thank the WW2 generation; that fought in the Far East, most of whom went through the hell of the Burma Jungles, suffering both disease and the enemy. We especially remember the Retreat from Burma, the Burma Campaign and the Battles of Kohima and Imphal. Many often became POWs and died of disease. We salute you all in grateful thanks.
