Tell Them Of Us And Say
For Your Tomorrow
We Gave Our Today"

Honoured to speak at the VJ Day 80 at Guru Nanak Gurdwara Edinburgh.

Remembering the Forgotten Army of South Asia - 2.5M soldiers from Bangladesh, India & Pakistan who served in WWII.

Their sacrifices for our safety & future must never be forgotten.

Doing a bit of scratch building for a change. Japanese log bunker. Some square bodied skewers from a satay kit. Lots of milliput. Next to add sand and paint up. And work out how to do the spider holes.

Anyone know when they'll be announcing the same for the *actual* anniversary of the end of WW2 in August?
Or are we doing the usual thing of airbrushing out of Bath's & UK's history the many British & Commonwealth people who fought & died for Britain in WW2 in the Far East? #ForgottenArmy

I want to recommend a very interesting book.
'Another Man's War' by Barnaby Phillips.
The story of a Burma Boy in Britain's forgotten African army.
Nigerians fighting for Britain in Burma.
