Still working through SOE history in the “Far East” in #WWII & strongly recommended Dr. Richard Duckett’s book 📖 It goes beyond Cruickshank’s earlier work & really adds to the histories of the Burma campaign. #WeHaveWays #HistoryBookChat

#OnThisDay 110 years ago 'the lights went out all over Europe' as Britain went to war for the next 4 years. A whole generation of youth virtually wiped out, many buried in 'some corner of a foreign field that is forever England' #WW1 #lestweforget

Very pleased to see this. The best account of Force 136 (SOE) in Burma is by Dr. Richard Duckett Force 136 achieved significant strategic effect in the campaign to defeat the Japanese, such as Operation Character, which delivered more effect than the Chindit operations.
