Doing my usual weekend rounds of the local antique and collectors shops, I bought a group which consisted of the 39/45 star, Burma star, defence and war medal, they are mounted on a bar for wearing, it also included the box of issue and paperwork plus the medal ribbon bars,it is for a chap who lived local to me, the box has a return address for the air ministry in London so an RAF chap !, also included were some small snapshots of the memorial in khohima and an interesting document I have not seen before,it appears to be in 3 languages, Japanese and possibly Burmese ??, the English section is highlighted in red and reads : this man has ceased resistance, he should be given fair treatment and taken to the nearest officer. South east asia command. has anyone come across this before ?, I paid 70 uk pounds so maybe a little much, but i thought worth it to save a local mans history,
thanks,
John.
ps: will scan the doc if anyone is interested.
