British Uniform Dress during Burma, 1944

[bucsfan21]

I am looking for uniform info on British Commonwealth troops which served during the Burma Campaign of 1944.

I am aware of the Osprey title Chindit vs Japanese Infantryman 1943-44 and Burma Road Stillwell's Assault.

Any tidbit, any tip, any book, any uniform reference would be appreciated.

Thanks, Terry Martin-Member of the Atlanta Miniature Figure Society

I don't have this book myself but it's one that immediately springs to mind.

Tony Barton (a PF Member), has a website with his superb 1/6th scale figures.
One of his galleries is titled 'Tommies in Burma', which is worth a view:-

Here's what I have, quite a range of nations...

(Sorry for the poor pics - just taken with my phone. Also I didn't crop out the GIs as I thought they may be of interest too.)
Cheers

Found these too...

Also the Osprey Men At Arms MAA 375
The British Army 1939–45 (3)
THE FAR EAST

I didn't scan this though as I would need to do the whole book really as lots on Burma '44/45 (unless you want something specific that I could look up for you). It's only £10 on Amazon

Cheers
