I am a 93 year old WW2 Veteran and served with the Mars Task Force in China Burma India Campaign. We had mules which carried the gun parts and other supplies. I was with the 612th Field Artillery Battalion. I have many pictures and stories to tell.

I will be attending our 30th year reunion in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas September 14 - 18 2017.

Please contact if you have any questions.

We get to read very heroic version of Indian National Army comprising mainly Indian British soldiers, who were POWs of Japanese at Singapore. They chose to align with Japanese and fought with Anglo Indian army in Burma and then in Kohima Imphal in India. Any account of their role in this campaign available ? Thanks
