Recently some RAF officers visited a Roman Catholic community of Indians
Recently some RAF officers visited a Roman Catholic community of Indians and Anglo-Indians in a Burmese village in a liberated area.
The villagers had lived there under the Japanese occupation for three years and had run their own home guard who maintained regular patrols, some of them armed with rifles captured from the Japanese when they were driven out of these areas.
Picture shows: The Roman Catholic Padre, T Sweeney, of Cork, Ireland, coming up the steps of an air raid shelter in the village compound.
ln the background can be seen Flight Lieutenant C, F Wilson of 72 Drake FieId Road, London, chatting with some of the home guards.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to April 1945, during the turbulent times of World War II. RAF officers pay a visit to a Roman Catholic community of Indians and Anglo-Indians in a Burmese village that had recently been liberated from Japanese occupation. The villagers endured three long years under the oppressive rule of the Japanese, but they never lost their spirit or determination. They formed their own home guard, bravely patrolling the area armed with rifles captured from their oppressors. As we focus on the image, our attention is drawn to two individuals who stand out amidst the backdrop of war-torn surroundings. The Roman Catholic Padre T. Sweeney from Cork, Ireland ascends the steps of an air raid shelter within the village compound. His presence offers solace and spiritual guidance to those seeking comfort in these troubled times. Meanwhile, Flight Lieutenant C. F Wilson engages in conversation with some members of the home guards nearby. Their exchange embodies camaraderie and mutual respect between military personnel and local defenders. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both faith and resilience amid conflict. It captures a moment frozen in time when different worlds intersected – where religion met service and courage intertwined with devotion. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot encapsulates not only history but also humanity's unwavering ability to find strength even in its darkest hours.
