EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early months of 1944, on the 14th Army front in Arkan. The image captures a significant moment during World War Two, showcasing Japanese infiltration groups attempting to reach Imphal, Manipur. However, their efforts were met with fierce resistance from British and Indian troops, resulting in heavy casualties for the infiltrators. In this particular frame, we see Colour Sergeant F. Wilson from Plymouth alongside his comrades of a South Country regiment stationed on the Arakan Front. Amidst the challenging conditions of jungle warfare in Asia's far east, these brave soldiers take a well-deserved break from their duties. Colour Sergeant Wilson stands out as he leisurely smokes a homemade bamboo pipe—a small indulgence amidst the chaos and uncertainty that war brings. The photograph not only serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period but also sheds light on what has been referred to as "the forgotten army". These soldiers fought valiantly in often overlooked theaters such as Burma front. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for those who served and endured unimaginable hardships during World War Two. This picture encapsulates both moments of respite and camaraderie amidst an era defined by conflict and turmoil.
