Movie clip from Larry K.


This is a movie clip donated by Larry K., owner of The Unashamed Male blog.
It is set in India, and I think the troops shown may be Burmese or Gurka.

  1. The film, from the National Archives, was taken on June 16, 1944, showing Chinese troops at the Ramargh Training Center in India. Chinese resistance leader Chiang Kai-Shek had sent Chinese troops to Burma to help the British hold back the Japanese. After Burma fell to the Japanese, some of the Chinese troops escaped to India, where they were put under the command of American General Stillwell. These may be those troops.
