Burma 1942
Memories of a Retreat: The Diary of Ralph Tanner, KOYLI. The first air raids on Rangoon were opposed by only two fighter squadrons. In December 1941 a Japanese battalion crossed the Burma-Siam border and seized Victoria Point, heralding the invasion of Burma.
'Burma 1942' is a unique assessment of this disatrous episode in British military history, taken in part from the diary and maps kept by Ralph Tanner, who served with 2nd Battalion The Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during the retreat. What followed was a fighting retreat as the British forces sturggled to the Indian border, harried by an experienced Japanese force.
