Reeta Chakrabarti: My Forgotten Army family ties

One of the defining and longest campaigns of World War Two, in the East, was in Burma, now known as Myanmar, which was then part of the British Empire.

As part of our People's War series of reports, Reeta Chakrabarti discovers more about her father-in-law, just one of the men who belonged to the 14th Army, a force that became known as the Forgotten Army.
