Military please

Post by Daisycakes »

Some time ago there was a documentary on BBC 2... maybe the history chanel....about second world war in Burma.... we did watch it and I would love to buy the dvd as my late dad served in Burma as some of you already know. My problem is I cant remember the exact title and have searched numerous sites including the BBC shop all to no avail...So can anyone remember the programme please.

Many thanks in anticipation Ann :)

It sounds more like something that would be on Yesterday http://uktv.co.uk/yesterday/homepage/sid/5008 - a search on there doesn't show a lot for Burma but there is a messageboard so perhaps somebody on there might know if it was on that Channel instead.
