81st West African Division

One of the least known divisons in the Burma campaign, and sadly still very little available on the web.

Some books worth reading (of which the first is superb):

War Bush: 81 (West African) Division in Burma 1943-1945

Civilians in Uniform: A Memoir 1937-1945
A number of pages can be read here

Some details available on the web:
