Dear Sir.
I am hoping you can give me some
information about a great uncle of mine who served with the 77th Infantry
Brigade in Burma.
He was Signalman Jack White. He is
mentioned in General Bernard Ferguson's book about the Chindits. He was
captured by
the Japanese and died in Rangoon
prison. I believe he was buried in Myanmar War Cemetery. Would this be Taukkan
War
Cemetery by any chance? I was also
wondering if he was awarded the Burma Star when he was alive? If not, was it,
or is it awarded posthumously. Any information you can give me would be so
much appreciated. I am so proud of a man I of course did not Know
but who is remembered by my father
as "his favorite uncle". If there is anyone who remembers Jack, I would be
thrilled to hear from them.
Thank you so very much.
Sincerely,
Steve Wells on
