Old soldiers,sailors and aircrew return to Burma

Although this is posted elsewhere,many TA readers will not have picked it up so I am repeating the post here:





Thought you might be interested in these links to tours being undertaken in Burma/Thailand in 2009 by Poppy Travel,part of the Royal British Legion as they make interesting reading.



Some of the upcountry tours could be very arduous for the ex-servicemen who are now well into their 80`s but they will probably put many youngsters to shame.

There cannot be many who have visited the Rangoon War Memorial and the Htaukkyan (Taukkyan) War Cemeteries in Myanmar or the Kanchanaburi and Chungkai memorials in Thailand who have come away with dry eyes.
