EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment Brigadier Cotterill-Hill, commanding officer of the 71st Indian Brigade, wades ashore on Ramree Island during the British invasion of Burma's coast in 1942. The scene is set against the backdrop of the turbulent surf and the receding tide, as the officer leads his troops towards the shoreline. During World War II, the South East Asian country of Burma (now Myanmar) became a battleground between the Allied forces and the Japanese. In late 1941, the Japanese launched a successful offensive, pushing the British and Indian troops back towards the coast. In response, the Allies planned a counter-offensive to retake the strategic island of Ramree, located off the Arakan coast. Brigadier Cotterill-Hill, wearing his distinctive beret and binoculars around his neck, leads the charge as his troops make their way through the shallow waters. The uniformed soldiers follow closely behind, their faces determined and focused. The scene exudes a sense of tension and anticipation, as the fate of the campaign hangs in the balance. The successful invasion of Ramree Island marked a turning point in the Burma Campaign, boosting morale and providing a much-needed victory for the Allied forces. This historical photograph is a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in this crucial campaign during World War II.
