When most Britons think of the end of World War II, they picture street parties and Churchill’s famous V-sign on May 8, 1945. But for nearly a million British and Commonwealth soldiers, the war was far from over.
From the dense jungles of Burma to remote Pacific islands, and even the high seas, these courageous men— including my grandfather, James Crumlin — faced brutal conditions, endured captivity, and fought on against Imperial Japan long after Europe celebrated victory.
James Wharton tells the powerful, often overlooked story of Britain’s forgotten army — the troops who continued to fight when much of the world had moved on.
If you value untold history and personal stories of bravery, be sure to watch and share.
