When I was ticking the Bridge on the river Kwai off my bucket list, I visited the allied war cemeteries in Thailand, they  were pristine, but as has been mentioned, the ages of those buried there was saddening.

Cheers.

Done the same Charts, and the pow museum near the bridge...

If they had made that film about Stiffmeisters military career it would have been 35 seconds long and involved a Buffoon with a Brennan Huff hairdo tripping up out of a plane door at Camp Bastion and then coming too at the end of the war !

Makes you wonder how they managed to lose the war.......

I think they predominantly fought the insurgency with firepower rather than cunning and ruthlessness. Though they did have notorious success with the Phoenix programme.

Which reminds me of the true masters of counter insurgency and this scene…
