Description

"Slim's Burma Boys" relates the personal experiences of men who fought the "Forgotten War" of the Burma campaign.

Hill wanted his readers to know what it was like to be there and with this in mind he selected a variety of operations and events from B Company of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Berkshire Regiment, which he commanded.

He was one of the only men to survive the border crossing into Burma.

The Company earned two Military Crosses, a Distinguished Conduct Medal, four Military Medals, and a mention in Despatches.

Hill conveys the intensity of involvement in the action, experiencing the adrenaline rush as well as the fear and courage of those who took part in swollen river crossings, patrols, ambushes, skirmishes and major actions against a ruthless and determined enemy who would never surrender.

His memoir is of general interest as well as a fitting memoir to his men and should be prescribed reading for all would-be officers and soldiers.
