British support troops advance Burma WW2

Description

This is a copy of a photograph that belongs to Nigel Hopkins, an RAF Veteran from Aberystwyth, Wales. The photograph was taken from a moving vehicle in convoy. It captures the advance of British support troops, sometime in the aftermath of a battle between British forces and the imperial Japanese Army in Burma during World War Two. The photograph belongs to David Hopkins, known as Gareth, who was Nigel's father. Gareth served as an admin clerk with the British Army during the Burma campaign and is in this convoy of vehicles. Gareth was required to collect material from positions overtaken by the advancing British forces, which was either discarded or lost by British troops or left behind by the Japanese troops retreating from the battlefield.
