Discover the incredible, often forgotten story of the West African Divisions in the WW2 Burma Campaign. We follow a son's journey to uncover his father's time as a medical officer serving with African troops from the Gold Coast (Ghana) in the 'Forgotten Army.' Learn how these unsung heroes fought the Japanese in the brutal Burma jungle, enduring malaria and ferocious combat, and how their sacrifice became a catalyst for African independence after the war.
