EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of the 19th Indian Dagger Division as they advance through the dense Burmese jungle during the campaign in Burma, 1944. The Second World War saw the Indian Army play a pivotal role in the South-East Asian theatre, with the 19th Indian Dagger Division being one of the most decorated formations. The division, named after the dagger-shaped insignia on their shoulder, was formed in 1942 and consisted mainly of Indian infantry and British and Indian armour. In this image, we see a combination of both elements moving forward in a coordinated attack. The infantry, armed with rifles and carrying backpacks, lead the way, followed closely by the tanks. The tanks, with their menacing presence and heavy armour, provide crucial fire support and help to clear a path through the jungle for the infantry. The campaign in Burma was a challenging one, with the Japanese forces putting up fierce resistance. The jungle terrain presented its own set of difficulties, with the dense foliage making it hard to spot the enemy and providing excellent cover for ambushes. Despite these challenges, the 19th Indian Dagger Division pressed on, driven by their commitment to liberate Burma from Japanese occupation. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 19th Indian Dagger Division during the Second World War. It is a testament to their bravery, resilience, and the important role they played in the history of the war in South-East Asia.
